Commentary

Not previously published. Autopsied by TIR in July 2014.

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

Length about 70 cm, running vertically downwards, slightly curving, ending at about 70 cm above the ground. One of only two legible inscriptions on the rock facing toward the left. Frame lines both top and bottom: Both appear to end with final E d, their extension towards the top cannot be determined.

Visible traces starting from about 26 cm above N d. A possible, but very tentative reading of the characters in the first, more heavily eroded area is E dI sN dI s. Only N dU5 dA19 dL dE d is well legible, the letters becoming more distinct towards the end.

We can identify the Raetic suffix group -nu-ale as documented multiple times on this rock and also in Steinberg. Cp. AK-1.21, similar in size and orientation.
