On one side, near to the wheel head of this flat chisel, an inscription, about 2.9 cm long, is to be observed. The inscription needs to be read sinistroverse and the upper respectively lower area of the letters are incomplete. On the first position there is readable an [[index::A]] with a central, vertical hasta. As previously mentioned the upper area is incomplete. The following letters are readable as [[index::E]] or [[index::V]]. A definite reading is not assured due to the condition of the letters. On the end of the inscription is a shorter hasta which could be interpreted as [[index::I]]. After Schumacher the writing character of the signs could not be taken as assured ({{bib|Schumacher 2004}}: 182).<br>

Commentary

First published in Pallua 1970: 43. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Pallua 1970: 43, Abb. 9 (drawing), Schumacher 2004: Taf. 4,2 (drawing), LIR (drawing), MLR (photo).

Near the wheel head, length 2.9 cm. Possibly damaged at the top by corrosion. If interpreted as script, the presence of V s implies a sinistroverse reading. Schumacher and Mancini also consider a reading aeei or avei, but no additional bars can be made out. Mancini's argument concerning the relative distance between the twigs of the second and third characters is hardly decisive for characters this small. Non-script or pseudo-script cannot be excluded.
