‘behold grave to Argo mother sympathy Arka Moritune of 
The word obi means a grave or tomb. Anciently it seems to have 
been oba. The construction of the sentence is imperfect in that no 
postposition follows uga. As for rakara, it was originally “a toward- 
ing,” and the foundation of urikarri, urrikal, erruki, erukiorra, and 
other words expressing sympathy. Arca Moritune was a family 
name at Monte Pulciano, for the following inscriptions contain the 
name :

In this inscription erifza should be erttzate if aita uga are the 
subjects, but evztza is correct if the child of Moneta is the honourer 
of his parents.

memorial Behatzeritsa concerns 
writing this honours Agingune of grandfather 
As this inscription occurs among those of the Agingune family of 
Senese, the C of the second line should be F. The only word calling 
for explanation is that translated grandfather. It is babe aurre, con- 
96 141 is altered to suit Fabretti’s reading, whether right or wrong. 
%a In Fabretti the K of the upper line is read Y, and the C of the lower F, as I have sug- 
gested. The name is thus Bekurasa. If Fabretti be right in reading the V of the lower line 
as L, we have basa ura = fetcho aur, darling child, instead of babe aurre.
