Commentary

Unpublished. Autopsied by TIR in July 2014.

Picture in Mandl 2011: Abb. 142 (photo). Photo of the entire rock wall in Mandl 2011: Abb. 136.

Length about ??? cm, starting at about ??? cm above the ground. Running vertically upwards, slightly curving to the left. The very faint trace of a frame line might be guessed at on the left, but might well be just a trick of the eye. The best-preserved inscription on this rock.

E d is preceded by a small round indentation similar to the one in AK-1.11, probably natural. After S2 s, a distinctly visible zig-zag line line d 01 sline d 02 sline d 01 s in the lower area, which can best be explained as part of a ligature with either S2 s or the following E d – the first case is suggested by the fact that the end of the zig-zag line would here coincide with the lower end of the (hypothetical) hasta; also it is closer to S2 s, in fact starting under it. In the second case, its end touches the hasta at the height of the lowest bar, but compare the only other ligature known from Raetic rock inscriptions NU d with the bars of N2 s, turned against writing direction, branching off the hasta of the following letter. If indeed the writer got confused about the orientation of this element, it cannot be excluded that the intended ligature is not me, but ne. The next four letters are well legible, Χ2 d with rounded bars. After R2 d, a hasta with at least one bar crossing it (T d). Traces of up to two more such bars might be considered relevant, yielding either Z2 d or, unlikely, a very ramshackle E d. Then A17 d, possibly another letter after it (see drawing).

AK-1.17 is distinguished both by its good state of preservation and its content – unlike the other passably well legible inscriptions on AK-1 rock, it gives no clue to a possible Raetic interpretation.
