Commentary

Not previously published. Autopsied by TIR in July 2014.

Image in Mandl 2011: Abb. 141 (photo). Photo of the entire rock wall in Mandl 2011: Abb. 136.

Length min. 42 cm, running vertically upwards, starting at about 50 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 K4 d. Possibly illegible traces of characters before it. The following characters seem to get successively smaller. The identification of te bars of E d is doubtful, the uppermost bar appears to coincide with the dubious 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 or S2 d, and maybe two more characters before comparatively clear E d. After this, a natural indentation in the rock; 5.8 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).
