Commentary
First published in Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965: 13 (no. 6). Autopsied by TIR in November 2014.
Images in Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965: 13 (drawing) and fig. 8 (photo), IR (drawing = LIR), LIR (photo).
Length about 10 cm, starting at the broader end of the piece of antler. The first three characters are the most heavily damaged: seems comparatively clear; the next letter was read by Pellegrini, but might also be (but see below). is fairly secure again, its right hasta being affirmed by a straight breaking edge (see drawing). After the second , , damaged in the lower area, appears to have a punctuation mark inscribed into it. The letter after the third is certainly not , but , as already seen by Mancini. A punctuation mark is very probably situated after the second , right above the breaking edge. The object being broken into multiple fragments, it has been restored, with the group of fragments on the narrow end having been attached incorrectly; the reading of is impeded, but secure (cp. the photos and drawings provided by Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965 and Mancini). Of final , only the uppermost tip is left.
Mancini perceives the sequences aruseθarna and terisna to be separated by a space. In any case, the final part of the inscription can be identified as the word terisna; the sequence before it may be a name, possibly a two-part name formula in the nominative aruse θar-na / arus eθar-na / aru seθar-na. Cp. SR-3.1 with possibly a name base aruś. In both parts of the inscription, the suffix -na is preceded by a punctuation mark, but it cannot be determined whether this is the intention, as the punctuation is also in line with the Venetic rules for syllable punctuation. For the inscribed punctuation mark cp. SR-1/SR-7; see Script for a discussion.
