““T will be placed for who does to us fight ;’ 
means “‘I am at the disposition of any one who wishes to attack us.” 
which I suppose 
It is thus probably an armorial motto. The Etr. equivalent of the 
B. naiz, namely banaiz, is now well known. The verb para, 
paratu to place, extend, is in the future with the suffix go. The 
compound duenza consists of dwen, who does or has, and 2, the post- 
position. In the Eugubine Tables YII denotes the modern gudw, a 
fight, in distinction from YP, now eit, undertake. In Etr. guda or 
gudu is a verbal form. There is no Latin in the inscription.

The name Annius must stand for Annulus. The B. for ring is 
erhaztun, from erhi, the finger. Finger-tip is erkain. The Jap. 
kake, to hang, hook, put on, &c., which makes kake-gane, a ring and 
staple for fastening a door, agrees with the B. kako, translated by 
the French crochet. I suppose, therefore, an old B. or Etr. word 
erkaka, a finger ring. The translation of Coelia by Chipibano I can- 
' not explain. Were the second character A instead of V, some sense 
might be made of zeruwbano.

it bears Artukaku Kai Bemitura natus 
Artukaku, or in modern B. artugogo, means, to hold the memory, 
and is a common formula in sepulchral inscriptions. Here it is a 
proper name. It may have been used technically to denote the 
arrha or earnest money which kept the seller in mind of the bargain 
with the intending purchaser. The final Kai is, I think, an Etr. 
form of Caius.
