|commentary=<p>Two characters can be seen on the fragment. The reading is difficult, and the writing direction cannot be determined. *Is 6 and *Is 8 are too short to afford any useful insights into the question of their provenance – they could, theoretically, be pure infiltrations. Most likely there are two letters from a Venetic alphabet, which are accompanied by one or two hyphenators. It remains unclear whether the character on the right should be read as an incomplete 'b' or as an incomplete 'o' with "internal" syllabic punctuation. It is not possible to decide which of the four alternatives – ‹b.i› or ‹i.b›, ‹.ọ.i› or ‹i.ọ.› – is correct. It is probably a (small) part of a votive text; such inscriptions are on a whole series of bronze sheets attached.</p>
