Notes: The editor reads the second word of line one as θuna, with initial theta, but the top portion of the letter f appears in the photograph, and is actually sketched out in the drawing published in SE.

Notes: According to the editor, the letter following gamma could be lambda or iota. Restoration of iota yields a locative case form zilci.

Notes: Fragment of Attic skyphos.

Notes: It's possible that the inscription is to be restored as vestricina. This gentilicium is found in other inscriptions from this area.

Notes: The final vertical stroke in line 1 is most likely an error.

Notes: The inscription was incised on the bottom of the foot of the vase. A Greek trademark de is also incised there.

Notes: The tablet was found a short distance from a tomb, so it's possible that the text is a lex sepulcralis. Line 1 is separated from lines 2-4 by spacing, a feature that suggests that line 2 was the beginning of a new section.

Notes: The editor restores the missing portion of the family name based on ursumnas, which is attested at Tarquinia, though without word-initial h. It is possible that this inscription was incised on a stone block that formed the architrave of a chamber tomb. However, the stone was actually discovered in an urban context and this does not jibe with a funereal function for the text.

Notes:

Notes: The text was painted on the shoulder of the amphora, which is fragmentary. The editor notes that the orthography (k before e) and the family name flere point to Volsinii as the source for the amphora and the inscription. The editor suggests that the two persons named here were magistrates at Volsinii and that their names served to date the year the wine was produced.

Notes: The editor proposes to restore the inscription as mu[nθ].

Notes: The editor notes that the third character could be either θ or c.

Notes: According to the editor, text (b) records the first part of the name of the owner the helmet. Text (a) may be the numeral 6.

Notes: Colonna notes that the surviving portion of the text may be restored as [ – – – ]alik[e – – – ].

Notes: The upper oblique stroke of the first letter is visible. v or p are possible.

Notes: The text was inscribed vertically, from high to low.

Notes: In an addendum to REE 97 (pp. 425-426), Giovanni Colonna proposes to restore the inscription as [ min]i menra ak[asce]. For details, the reader is referred to pp. 425-426.

Notes: The inscription was incised on the face of a roadway sliced through tufaceous rock. The name may be the name of the public official responsible for the work.

Notes: Berkin (2003: 84) describes the initial letter as ‘perhaps part of a beta’. This is virtually impossible because the Etruscan writing system made no use of this letter and it appears only in abecedaria of the early to mid-archaic period. It is more likely that we have an alpha whose medial bar slopes in the direction of writing so dramatically that it meets the left-most oblique stroke near its foot. Bibliography:

Notes: Berkin (2003: 84) describes the first legible letter as ‘pi or c'. The puncts described by Berkin appear to be pits in the ceramic, not word-punctuation. The surviving portion of this inscription is perhaps the final portion of a feminine family name. Bibliography:

Notes: The inscription may also be read as [ – – – ]mutas[ – – – ]. Of the first letter only the upper portion of an oblique bar is visible.
