Commentary
Not previously published. Examined by TIR in July 2014.
Image in Mandl 2011: Abb. 138 (photo).
Length min. 23 cm; the last character at about 110 cm above the ground. Running downward on a small protrusion on the very left edge of the rock wall, the middle one of a group of three (Bildstelle 1, with AK-1.1 and AK-1.3).
Traces of characters can be seen starting from the darker area of rock above the inscription, but apart from possible at about 10 cm before no reading can be offered. The last five letters, however, are unambiguous, representing the suffix syntagma -nu-ale, well attested in the rock inscriptions of North Tyrol. We can therefore assume that the illegible part of the inscription contained at least the personal name base for the patronymic. The degree of erosion as well as the occurring letter forms are similar to those of AK-1.1, the inscriptions may therefore have been written on the same occasion and by the same person.
