Commentary
First published in Marinetti 2004: 410 f. (no. 2). Autopsied by TIR on 17th November 2015.
Images in Marinetti 2004: 410 (drawing), MLR (photo).
Length 1 cm. The lines are very faint, but tidy. Kappa is higher than the other letters, and slightly damaged in the bottom. The hastae and bars of Alpha and Rho do not touch, but no other reading is feasible. Formally, kari qualifies as a Raetic inidvidual name.
