The tablet bears 46 lines of incised Etruscan text, about 130 words.

The cippus, which seems to have been a border stone, appears to display a text dedicating a legal contract between the Etruscan families of Velthina (from Perugia) and Afuna (from Chiusi), regarding the sharing or use, including water rights, of a property upon which there was a tomb belonging to the noble Velthinas.

In lines 29–30, the form fulumχva mirrors pulumχva in the Pyrgi Tablets and (in the singular?)
