Commentary

First published in Orsi 1890: 293 f. Lost.

According to Orsi, the inscription is written somewhere "in fondo" of the fragmentary vessel, and damaged. He adds a highly suspicious drawing of only the characters, and offers no reading. Pellegrini (1915: 121 (note 4) / 1918: 192 f. (note 3)) assumes that the fragment is not of a "pentola", but of a cup similar to the ones on which the other inscriptions are written. The common reading (dextroverse) ]iśnaśu goes back to him; the idea that the inscription is incomplete on the left is based on the comparison with MA-4 and MA-14. He appears not to have seen the object himself. In Orsi's drawing, only I d, N d and maybe U3 d qualify as letters. The status of Ś3 d as a Raetic letter is dubious, but the form does repeatedly occur in Bostel as part of what is probably a manufacturer's mark (AS-19, AS-20, AS-21, AS-22, AS-23). The character in the centre is probably misrepresented. In light of the recent inscription finds from Bostel, AS-1 may have (had) linguistic content, but we prefer not to speculate based on the inadequate drawing.
