ETRURIA CAPTA. 201 
I have indicated a doubt as to the reading of Hyihatzurano. The 
word zwen, as-far as form is concerned, might be the 3rd person 
sing. imperfect indicative of dwt, meaning he had. But here it is 
plainly the personal pronoun zw with the relative particle en, ye who. 
In zarapi we have, I think, a variant form of zarrati, answering to 
the modern zarrapo. Of course it might, if the first reading is the 
true one, be Servius, the son of Egihatz. The last word is good 
Basque of to-day, egokio, il importe. 
The inscription that follows seems to refer the reader to another : 
316. OI - LOTIS - SEPYVPVS : LAPYNAYA 
mai asmaku uno none tukupitupino zaratukukarakura 
mai asmaku hune non adiko bethe banu zarratu egoki irakurri 
table traced this where explained fully I have writing capable read 
Let him who is capable read the writing of the inscribed table in which 
I have given particulars. 
Here a distinction is well drawn between writing and reading. 
The Etruscan adiko is a derivative from a/i, understanding, know- 
ledge, which makes adigarri, signification. The word bethe means 
full in Basque. Besides the meaning ‘‘ importer, concern,” eyoki also 
denotes @ propos, capable. It may of course mean in this place 
“ whom it concerns.”*™ 
I have already in 96 given a tablet of the Cecinna family, which 
name I have roughly read Chiginekasune. Roman writers call it 
Caecina. Sisenna is doubtless the same word. Whether Kaswne is 
the nomen or cognomen I am not in a position to judge. If it 
answers to Zuntzegin, as an abbreviation and inversion of that 
name, it will be the nomen, for we learn that the Caecina whose 
case Cicero advocated belonged to the Licinian gens, and Zuntzegin 
we have found was the Etruscan form of Licinius. The following 
are other monuments of this familia. They were found at Monte 
Aperto of Siena:

81a Tuku miay be a proper name as it is in a similar inscription: Bilingual, Fabretti 934. In 
this case pitu, betu will be the Etruscan form of epatu, to fix, set to. See Tomb of Sarapikuka, 
line 1. 
88 The iconoclastic Fabretti with a rude hand destroys the Cecinna memorial in 89. Here is 
his reading :
