This article is an interpretation, based on similarities with Slavic languages, of the Venetic inscription on the Tavola da Este (V-IV centuries B.C.), the longest Venetic inscription found so far. The result is a narrative text, of civic-religious nature. It confirms that: 1) the PaleoVeneti was a PaleoSlavic tribe, because their language was Slavic, enriched by the Greek; 2) the existence of narrative capabilities among the PaleoVeneti, always denied by historians. The only precedent translation of this inscription is from Ambrozič & Tomezzoli (2003).
