CLOSE TRANSLATION OF THE CIPPUS OF PERUSIA. 
Left Side. 
For bringing a tablet of offering I requested the contributions of the accor- 
dant states, saying : I am causing a tablet to be made towards the grave, and 
on the side I am giving information, as to who chose to bring disesteem to the 
tablet of offering. Only (one) fails to honour. Instead he warned the lords to 
oppose to communicate the contributions I requested. Of these subjects of 
Rome bearing united memory towards Ralapika, bringing a tablet of offering 
causing to be seen their great regard for Ralapika, I desire the inimical lord to 
bear the scourge, considering the signification of the tablet. The refusal of 
the gift of Pisa throws the spark of enmity at the prince. 
Front. 
I, desiring to cause the mind of Pisa to be placed under adhesion to the 
writing of the States, declare by suitable writing the intention of bringing a 
tablet of offering. I instructed him (the ruler of Pisa) together caring (testi- 
fying regard) to care for Ralapika, giving attention to this, that instead of 
them adhering to us [ take part together with them. He who fails us shows 
enmity towards good Tyrrhenia, causing to be seen towards the grave the 
twelve united states of the Dominion. 
Pisa gives warning to the Union of the care of great Tyrrhenia to bring a 
tablet of offering. To myself Pisa refuses the contribution I requested instead 
of honouring his master and lord. He accuses me of bringing the tablet of 
offering in order to gain the precedence of the adherents. He fails to give me 
a contribution to erect the tablet, without which I command the workman to 
write the word on the monument erected to Ralapika: 
‘*BE YE UNABLE TO GIVE A GRFAT SOUL TO PISA.” 
i 
1 give word to take part together to bring a tablet of offering towards the 
grave to honour the Lucumo, He sends, saying: ‘‘ Do you have the desire 
unitedly to bring an extensive spectacle, but let his descendants give him a 
tumulus.” He opposed joining the powerful princes uniting to bring a tablet 
of offering to extend admiration. He brings his opinion: ‘‘ Do you have a 
care of bringing a tablet of offering; perhaps it brings enmity.” He refuses 
to pay us consideration, the mggard! Bringing a tablet of offering he caused 
enmity to be brought to us. He who fails us incites me to accept the gift o¢ 
great Tyrrhenia towards the tablet of offering. He who under the Do. 
minion fails us despised great Tyrrhenia. He who fails us shows enmity 
towards good Tyrrhenia. 
I am very desirous of giving command to place a word setting forth the 
contributions bringing (testifying) grief towards Ralapika. By the Dominion 
uniting to bring these, the little niggard receives the contempt of the lords.
