Commentary
First published in Vetter 1957: 387 f.
Pictures in Vetter 1957: Taf. VI (photos), Mayr 1960: Abb. 2 and 3 (photos), Prosdocimi 1971: 35 (drawing = Schumacher 1992: Taf. 8,2), Joppich 1971: 41 (drawing), Zavaroni 2004: 50, Fig. 1 (drawing), Fig. 2 and 3 (photos),Schumacher 2004: Taf. 18 (drawing), Mandl 2011: Abb. 1, 130, 131, 133, 403 (photos).
Length max. 87 cm, running towards the ground. Situated on the right-hand side just behind the entrance to the crevice, the rightmost of a group of three; well legible despite some erosion. Our reading follows Schumacher 2004: 347 ff. and 351 ff. The lower end of the inscription is heavily damaged and spoilt by more recent scratchings, but the presence of may be inferred from comparison with the preceding inscriptions.
The sequence can be segmented into a typical two-part Raetic name in the pertinentive case. The inscription is written in the same hand as ST-2 (overall ductus, rounded Kappa, spelling of the patronymic).
