The inscription in Lepontic characters reads: IOCVI VTONOIV : RINIADI
It is read from left to right.
The stone slab was found around 1830 under a wall near the chapel San Giuseppe near Andergia. A-Marca wrote:" ...la quale sembra che abbia servito di coperto a qualche cassa mortuaria di sasso...", (translated from Italian:) “…which seems to have served as a cover for a stone coffin grave…”. It was first introduced in a wall of the chapel opposite the door. Now (2023) it is built into a wall in the entrance hall of the Casa di Circolo, Stradón 10, 6563 Mesocco.
Location: 46.39041 9.23324 Accuracy 5.
