Commentary

Unpublished. Autopsied by TIR in July 2014.

Picture in Mandl 2011: Abb. 141 (photo). Photo of the entire rock wall in Mandl 2011: Abb. 136.

Length min. ??? cm, starting at about ??? cm from the ground, running vertically upwards, to the immediate right of AK-1.10. The most utilisable of the inscriptions in Bildstelle 4.

Traces of about four characters before tentative . After this, an angle in the lower area, possibly of . Then probably ; is well legible, with a hasta slightly prolonged in the bottom. Next, a clearly visible separator, followed by A19 d. After a narrow lacuna, and another separator. A19 d is unproblematic, A19 d more doubtful. After , a hasta, then a curved crack. At about ??? cm beyond the crack, potential traces of more characters, but not quite in line with the row of letters described – the inscription probably ends at the crack.

The sequence A19 dA19 d in the middle of an inscription is strongly reminiscent of the Steinberg rock inscriptions ST-5 and ST-6, which feature the suffix syntagma -nu-ale written with the first element separated by short medial scratches and written in ligature . In both cases, the word base to which the suffixes are attached cannot be identified, but both have a before -nu. In AK-1.11, the separator is inserted before A19 d. No angle in the lower area before can be made out with any certainty, instead the small lacuna contains a round indentation, which is most probably natural (the other separators in the inscription appearing as ).
