ETRURIA CAPTA. 209 
The first word, which is really a form of rako, towards, I have 
already set forth as the original of many modern Basque terms 
denoting sympathy. It is in an old dative or ablative case syn- 
onymous with that in 7, and answering to the modern locative. The 
dignified title, lady mother, is now shortened to amandria.

Behold where my bereavement is held in memory. The engraved 
tablet honours the wife of Agiuno the little. Have sy npathy.1! 
Every word in this inscription has previously occurred, except the 
last. This is the clan, filius, of the Etruscologists, which has sent 
them on a wild goose chase over the world, It always stands out 
distinct from other words, while terms of relationship generally 
adhere. It means have pity, compassion, sympathy, being the second 
plural imperative of /ué united to erruki. The following prayer of 
a votive inscription illustrates it.” 
10l Fabretti reads 423, thus: 
AVLE - SEIANYI - MI arbezuen nonevragogoi nou 
LAPOAL * YISCVSN zaratumarasa kuunochipinoka 
AL - CLAN rasa chisaraka 
arbe zuen non orogogoi nau zarratumai eritza Goino Chipino sortze zazu rako 
Behold ye where remembrance in he me has: the engraved space esteems Goino 
Chipino natum. Have sympathy. 
There is evidently something wanting at the end of the first line. 
ila Mr. VanderSmissen has sent me an inscription containing another form of this request 
for sympathy. It was found at Volaterrae :
