CLOSh: 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 

 i oppose to communicate the contributions I requested. Of these subjects of 

 Eome bearing united memory towards Ralapika, bringing a tablet of offering 

 causing to be seen their great regard for Ealapika, 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. 



I'ront. 



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 I 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 Kalapika : 



"BE YE UNABLE TO GIVE A GEKAT SOUL TO PISA." 



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, hut let his descendants give him a 

 tumulus." He opposed joining the powerful jjrinces 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 niggard ! Bringing a tablet of offering he caused 

 enmity to be brought to us. He who fails us incites me to accept the gift of 

 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 httle niggard receives the contempt of the lords.
