ETRURIA CAPTA. 18] 
MA nora, MAL mirago, Cl, siv. These are 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6. Of 
these, swragi must be 3, since saragi-chi ogot gives 60. It is the 
original of the present hirur, iru, 3. The old enigmatic form etzi ~ 
karamu, three days after, presents another form of 3.% The Lesghian 
chijobgu agrees in form. Some aid is afforded in determining the 
values of the words on the dice by the following inscription, which 
appears to be a rhyming exercise in arithmetic rather than a sepulchral 
offering. 
469. OVMAOVA mopi nora mopira 
ZELAZEA none sara nonera 
OLVOVATIY — mosa pimo pibauku 
AIZECEYAYTI raunonechi nekurakuu * 
58 This form given by Van Eys (sub. etzi) resembles the Ugrie korom, kurm, harom, kolm, 
kolma, denoting three. Another Ugric form, cholym, corresponds with the Lesghian chljobgu, 
apart from the increment gw. 
54 Mr. VanderSmissen has looked this inscription up in Fabretti, and sends me the contents 
of the larger leaden plate which folds over the one containing, as I supposed, an exercise in 
arithmetic. It was with some trepidation that I attacked this document of the destructive 
Fabretti. Happily, without any straining, it completely confirnis my judgment, and that in 
the most touching manner. Many of the Etruscan inscriptions are tender and sympathetic in 
tone, but this excels them all.
