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Unpublished.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, starting at about ??? cm from the ground, to the immediate right of AK-1.10. The most utilisable of the inscriptions in Bildstelle 4.

Traces of about four characters before tentative E d. After this, an angle in the lower area, possibly of S2 s. Then probably K3 d; E dR2 d is well legible, R2 d with a hasta slightly prolonged in the bottom. Next, a clearly visible separator, followed by A19 d. After a narrow lacuna, U5 d and another separator. A19 dL dE d is unproblematic, K3 dA19 d more doubtful. After S2 s, a hasta, then a curved crack. At about ??? cm beyond the crack, potential traces of more characters, but not quite in line with the row of letters described – the inscription probably ends at the crack.

The sequence punctuation7 dA19 dU5 dpunctuation7 dA19 dL dE d in the middle of an inscription is strongly reminiscent of the Steinberg rock inscriptions ST-5 and ST-6, which feature the suffix syntagma -nu-ale written with the first element separated by short medial scratches and written in ligature NU d. In both cases, the word base to which the suffixes are attached cannot be identified, but both have a before -nu. In AK-1.11, the separator is inserted before A19 d. No angle in the lower area before U5 d can be made out with any certainty, instead the small lacuna contains a round indentation, which is most probably natural (the other separators in the inscription appearing as punctuation7 d).
