Fabretti 1888. L-:F-TIITIA > GNATA 
MIISIA - ARVN 
AP:MESI °- 
The last line is written in the original from right to left, and thus 
it is supposed to be the only Etruscan part of the inscription. But 
the Etruscans and all the Khitan wrote frequently from left to right, 
and boustrophedon, as in this case. MIISITA - ARVN is not like 
part of a Latin inscription. I read it as Etruscan. 
nota no ura artupika 
artu mine nou 
Nata no aur Artupika 
artu min nau 
Nata of child Artupika 
receive grief she me does (she receives my grief) 
Nata is the Gnata of the Latin, which is here a proper name, 
and not the participle of nascor. Artupika represents Tiitia. This 
peculiar name can only connect with Taeda, pitch-pine, a pitch-pine 
torch. In bilingual, Fabretti 69, pikw has appeared as the Etruscan 
form of biz in biztu, to light. Here, however, we have not pikw but 
pika, doubtless a different word. The first part of the word is 
probably arte, a tree, rather than ardai, tinder. The second part, 
pika, some Basque scholar may be able to explain.

chipi u ka kuagi no ma gabe artu kaku karasa 
Sipi uga Kuagi une mai gabe artu gogo sortze 
Sipi’s mother Kuagi this table without holds memory child 
Here I have taken a license in making M, which in the original 
has an imperfect second limb, thus giving prominence to the first, 
the equivalent of wne. I am not sure that the bisected O is maz. 
It may be ma, which elsewhere, following zarratu, is unmistakably 
the same as mai. The word Sentius I take to have the same mean- 
ing as Sentia in Lanzi’s bilingual 2, that is, thorn-bush, brier, 
bramble. It is here translated by Chipi or Sepe, not a modern 
word. The Basque zapar, sapar, means bush, brier, bramble, and is 
violated grammatical construction by placing the verb nochine or aintzin before Ager for this 
end. Iread

indication to present Ager Noraku natus 
In this way Ager is the original of the Basque ezker, left.
