Commentary
First published in Schumacher 2004: 323.
Pictures in Steiner & Gamper 1999: Taf. 9,12 and Schumacher 2004: Taf. 13,1 (drawing).
Length 2.7 cm. Rather faintly scratched. Initial is well legible; of inverted
, only the hasta and the touching point of the two bars are well visible – the rest of the angle can only be guessed at. Between
and
, a short oblique scratch
is visible, read i by Schumacher. The letter might have been left out and added as an afterthought (cp. lavisie vs. lavise in VN-1). If this reading is correct, the auslaut -ie suggests an interpretation of the sequence as a Raetic individual name munie.
