About the Translation:
This
page has been updated with Work
Notes on Bona Dea & the goddess Uni —
a survey of Etruscan & Latin texts relating to
the Pyrgi Gold Tablets document supplementing,
"Work
Notes on the Pyrgi Gold Tablets." Other works on
"Etruscan Phrases" that have been updated via PDF
files : Zagreb Mummy (see "Work
Notes on the Zagreb Mummy." ), "Work
Notes on the Tavola Cortonensis," "Work
Notes on the Perugia Cippus," "Work
Notes on the Magliano Disk" and "Work
Notes on the Novilara Stele.” (PDF files), all
of which are reconciled to one another. This latest
change is based upon Etruscan GlossaryA.pdf
developed from our Indo-European Table 1. After the
series of Work Notes is completed, changes will be
made to this page.
This is the first of three gold tablets found at
Pyrgi. This tablet is harder to read than Pyrgi #2.
The third gold tablet is written in Punic. Pyrgi #2
concludes as being a record of the "Controversy of
Aph." See the Pyrgi_2 Translation.html for a
description of her and the controversy. This is the
third cut in translating this script, based upon the
translations of the other scripts. The following is a
translation, the details of which are below:
