|commentary=<p>The inscription was discovered on a votive area, where rituals were enacted on a central rock plateau over a period of many centuries. Gradič above Kobarid is the location of a Roman period settlement that extended across the original area of the prehistoric hill-fort.</p>
<p>As far as the type of text is concerned, basically a grave inscription, an owner inscription or a votive inscription in question. The inscription’s meaning is a personal name in the Dative singular. For morphological reasons, according to ‹.i.› to set a word boundary and to determine the sequence 'tomo.i.' as the dative Sg. of a masculine o-stem. As in several inscriptions from Làgole di Calalzo as well as two new finds from Verzegnis and Zuglio, here ‹t› can also be used “unetymologically” for ven. /d/, so that the letter sequence 'tomo.i.' is a Venetian word that produces a word form d/tomoi.</p>
<p>*Is 5 with the shape of its .i. and t is clearly an allochthonous item in the area it is apparent that the geographical factor cannot play any useful role in the affiliation of the individual inscriptions; a list of exclusive and (less importantly) non-exclusive diagnostic palaeographic features that any number of such inscriptions will show is the only methodologically viable route towards a coherent picture of which material one may classify as properly belonging to the Posočje group.</p>
<p>The letters are 6-9mm high and 4-7mm broad; the length of the preserved inscription is 55 mm.</p>
