Talk:Lead Plaque of Magliano

Starting
I just began this. First one I've done. Please don't delete yet. There are a number of articles devoted to this important piece, as can be seen in the sources. Thanks.Johundhar (talk) 23:58, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

I am putting here the translation into Italian by M. Pittau (Studi sulla lingua etrusca, pp. 155-156). I hope to work on translating when I have time, but anyone else may try their hand at if they feel confident about it--

Side A: "(Sia) protezione di Cauta all'80enne, nelle fossa purificata in tutto; (mio) marito difunto da un anno il Mane funebre (ha mandato) nella dimora degli dei; da me stessa l'ho affidato alla terra per protezione divina, nella fossa purificata in tutto da Eros il Donatore. E dei parenti in tutto da trent'anni il Capo (degli inferri Calus) porta protezione (ed) equo giudizio globale da (su di essi)! Fa' che queste sia la sentenza!"

Side B:"Ed io ho fatto il voto di donare a Thanr e a Calus l'Infuocato per 4 anni mercede e cibo per la protezione del defunto

Mane e in lungo e in largo (e) alla morte protezione del dio Suri; per questo mese offro un voto in idromele (ogni) giorno al dio Laureato (Apollo); un ariete al Laureato, due sulla fossa dei (miei) famigliari."

First attempt of a very rough partial translation of the above:

Side A: May the protection of Cauta be/last for 80 years, in the purified pit, throughout; my dead husband of one year, the funerary Mane (has mandated) in the mansion of the god; from me, the same I have entrusted it to the grounds under the protection of the goddess, in the purified pit, throughout, of Eros the Provider. And for the relatives throughout of thirty years, the Head (of infernal Calus) brings protection and fair worldly guidance of (on them)! Let this be the judgment!Johundhar (talk) 02:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Side B: And I preformed the votive to donate to Thanr and to Calus the fiery, for four years, goods and food for the protection of the deceased.

Mane both in length and in breadth and in the protection from death from the god Suri; For this month I offer a votive in mead each day to the god Laureato (Apollo); an "ariete" to Laureato, two on the pit of (my) family members.Johundhar (talk) 00:04, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Images
I would like to include images in the text, but I'm having trouble getting them to upload. Instead, I supplied links, but if anyone can figure out how to upload these (or other relevant) images, I would be most grateful.Johundhar (talk) 20:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)


 * With the help of a friend, we managed to upload images of the disk. But I'm not completely sure that I have provided the right info in the right places to avoid potential copyright issues. I plan to research this further before it gets taken down, but suggestions are more than welcome (this is the first image I've managed to copy into wikipedia).Johundhar (talk) 17:48, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
