Written in two lines (remains about 5.5 cm each), starting at the preserved end of the object; tidily scratched and well legible. Epsilon is inverted in both lines, Sigma appears once turned in, once against writing direction. The inscription is distinguished by the presence of non-script elements. While the symbol {{c||symbol4}} before the first letter of line 2 is more deeply scratched and might not belong with the inscription (cp. the chevron-shaped marks on [[index::SR-3 antler]], [[index::SR-6 antler]] and [[index::SR-9 antler]]), the three oblique scratches inserted between {{c||E2}} and {{c||punctuation}} are definitely part of it.

Commentary

First published in Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965: 11 f. (no. 4). Autopsied by TIR in November 2014.

Images in Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965: 11 (drawings) and fig. 6 (photos), Perini 1978: 84 (sub "Retico") (drawing), IR (drawings = LIR), LIR (photos).

Written in two lines (remains about 5.5 cm each), starting at the preserved end of the object; tidily scratched and well legible. Epsilon is inverted in both lines, Sigma appears once turned in, once against writing direction. The inscription is distinguished by the presence of non-script elements. While the symbol symbol4 s before the first letter of line 2 is more deeply scratched and might not belong with the inscription (cp. the chevron-shaped marks on SR-3 antler, SR-6 antler and SR-9 antler), the three oblique scratches inserted between E2 s and punctuation s are definitely part of it. Seeing as the rules for Venetic syllable punctuation are applied correctly in case of the other two punctuation marks (after L s and S s), the mark after line d 01 sline d 11 sline d 11 sline d 10 s suggests that the three lines represent a consonant. Pellegrini (p. 18) compared line v 0111 sline d 1000 sline d 2000 sline v 0111 sline d 1000 sline d 2000 sline v 0111 s on BZ-10.1 and proposed a simplified form of Heta; Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 234 f. suggested San. Of the letter after S d, a slightly inclined hasta and the end of a bar line d 02 s are left. While both E2 s and A3 s are theoretically possible, we prefer A3 s because the hastae of E2 s are inclined the other way in the two secure instances. The last peserved letter in line 2 can despite the missing second bar be identified as N s. (Note that a fragment of the object has broken off and disappeared, damaging the hasta of N s – cp. the drawings and photographs provided by Pellegrini & Sebesta 1965 and Mancini). We can identify φerisna in line 2; the sequence in line 1 is obscure.
