Inscribed on the narrow bottom of the beaker, the tops of the characters pointing towards the foot. The characters take up the entire breadth of the bottom; length about 2.5 cm. AS-19.1 starts at about 1 cm after this sequence. Both characters are damaged by breaks. The object is broken more or less along the left hasta of , whose bars cross, but both reach the bottom of the line. Another vertical break damages the tips of the bars of . The status of 
as a Raetic letter is dubious; in any case, the sequence is most probably a local workman's mark. Cp. AS-20, AS-21, AS-22 and AS-23. The mark usually appears more than once on the same object, but in this case the rest of the bottom is missing.
