The word ukan, ukhan is Basque, having the double meaning of 
have and be. 
90. AV - CFENLE : MEOL - NAL 
rapi ceginekasune Minemosa karasa (sortze) 
behold Cecina-kasune Minemosa natus 
For rapi see inscription Lanzi, Vol. II., p. 421, No. XI. 
91. LADOL - CFENLE - MEOLNA 
zarratu mai Cegine-kasune Minemosa kara 
This is virtually the same legend as the preceding, and seems to 
show that the Cecinnas married into a family of Minimas. It lacks 
the final L of sortze. 
93. LA - CFENLE : OA 
zari Cigine kasune mara 
commander Cecina-kasune Mura : 
The first word, which occurs frequently in the Eugubine Tables 
to denote a general, commander of an army, is the Basque zari, gen- 
erally compounded with agin, command, or buru, head, aginzari, 
buruzari, chef, commandant. I do not think that OA here denotes 
a memorial in the genitive of position to Cecina-kasune, but the 
name Muraena borne by three of the Licinii who fought in the ser- 
vice of Rome. 
95. LADO - CFENLE zarratu mai Cecina-kasune 
AAAA barabara 
The last word may be bwruburu, meaning great chief, as buru 
denotes a commander or chief as well as a head. I know of no verb 
that would complete a sentence of this form except para, to place or 
present. The inscription reads zarratu mai, the written tablet 
Cecinna-kasune parapara; making it appear that zarratu mai is the 
nominative, Cecinna the accusative of parapara. If we were told 
that a portrait of Cecinna adorned the tablet, I should read buru 
para, presents the head. As it is, it must for the time remain a 
mystery. This will be’no hardship, as all its companion inscriptions 
have been such for probably eighteen centuries. 
If Lanzi manufactured his inscription out of this he must have been a very dishonest man, 
although he has generally been regarded in a totally different light. The thing is incredible. 
This is no complete inscription, but a fragment. However, Fabretti is right in reading MEOL, 
instead of MEOI, as the following inscriptions 90 and 91 testify. Instead of ukan we must 
read kane, makes. As for chinesaka or zein so ka, who look by, freely, ‘‘ who or which by the 
sight,” although such forms do occur ,on Khitan monuments, it is obviously out of place here.
