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Unpublished.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, running vertically upwards, starting at about ??? cm from the ground, to the immediate right of AK-1.9 (Bildstelle 4). A faint frame line whose extremities cannot be determined appears to separate the two inscriptions.

The first passably well legible letter is a strangely elongated K4 d (see drawing). Possibly illegible traces of characters before it. The following characters seem to get successively smaller. E d is doubtful: The hasta seems to be an extension of the second hasta mentioned in AK-1.9, the bars are huddled in the upper part; the uppermost bar coincides with the doubtful frame line. S2 s is the most readily identifiable letter. After A19 d traces of more letters: a hasta with bars slanting down in writing direction (V d?), then possibly I d, another S2 s, and maybe two more characters before comparatively clear E d. After this, a natural indentation in the rock; ??? cm above this, a curved crack. Possibly up to two more characters after E d; the area above the crack contains more recent graffiti, though hardly anything is identifiable. It cannot be determined whether the inscription extends beyond the crack. Possibly belonging with AK-1.9 judging by the similar ductus (tall thin characters).
