We present an analysis of the theoretical neutrino mixing matrix, V{sub PMNS}{sup th}, previously derived in the framework of the minimal S{sub 3}-invariant extension of the Standard Model. All entries in the neutrino mixing matrix, V{sub PMNS}{sup th}, the mixing angles and the Majorana phases are given as exact, explicit analytical functions of the mass ratios of the charged leptons and neutrinos, and one Dirac phase, in excellent agreement with the the latest experimental data. Here, it will be shown that all entries in V{sub PMNS}{sup th} are numerically very close to the tri-bimaximal form of the neutrino mixing matrix, so that V{sub PMNS}{sup th} may be written as V{sup tri}+{delta}V{sub PMNS}{sup tri}. The small correction {delta}V{sub PMNS}{sup tri} is expressed as a sum of two terms: first, a small correction term proportional to m{sub e}/m{sub {mu}} depending only on the charged lepton mass ratios and, second, a Cabbibo-like, small term, {delta}t{sub 12}, which is a function of both the charged lepton and the neutrino mass ratios.
