     The person who sends me prays to the gods, lest the girl be not kind towards thee.
     Without thee […] calm with [these] rivers.
     A good man made me (in good intention?) for a good man; may I not be stolen by an evil man.

• In Old Latin spelling, ⟨C⟩ could represent either the voiceless velar plosive /k/ or its voiced counterpart /ɡ/.
