Commentary
First published in TIR. First print publication in Salomon 2018: 93. Autopsied by TIR in July 2014.
Images in Tischer 2006: 215, fig. 13 (photo), MLR (photo), Salomon 2018: 93, fig. 58 (drawing = drawing on this page).
Length about 3.5 cm. Despite the unambiguous alpha , possibly non- or pseudo-script. The two vertical scratches on both sides of St. Andrew's cross are very close to the latter, suggesting the shape of "butterfly" san 
, which is characteristic of the Lepontic alphabet. Cf. the somewhat similar arrangement of lines SR-11 on another round, but much larger stone. See Non-script notational systems for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
