With the Faliscan inscription already published in Archæologia there was found another and smaller bronze plate, with inscriptions on either side, varying in date. I will now give the more recent of these, deferring to another occasion the other and more ancient one, which is in Saturnian verse. This plate, like the former, has been torn away from some wall, to which it had been attached by six nails. Hence it has sustained a transverse fracture, and some small fragments are missing. But, fortunately, the sense of the inscription is uninjured, and the loss is confined to a few letters.

page 259 note c The sigla K. F. stands for Kæsonis filius. The father of Salviena was named Volta Salviena, both names having an Etruscan termination. Among the Falisci the prsenomen Voltius has the force of the Etruscan Volta. We find such examples on two of the Faliscan tiles which I published, as Voltio Vecineo Maxomo Ivneo, and ca. Vecineo Volti (son of Voltius). A third from Cività Castellana gives Pvrtis Leivblio Volti (sons of Voltius). With such means of comparison at command we must certainly render the sigla vo. f. of the mural inscription at Falleri, referred to in the Scoperte Falische, p. 280, and in the Diss. Arch. i. p. 74, by VOlti Filio. Mommsen has given it wrongly as VOlusi Filio.
