Commentary

Not previously published. Autopsied by TIR in November 2014.

Length of the remains about 3 cm. The inscription is included into the Raetic corpus for the only clearly legible letter A s, which appears in the same shape as in BZ-27. When it comes to the other lines, the reading is impeded not only by cracks and surface damage, but also by a sloppily applied white inlay. The leftmost character, whose hasta is clearly longer than the inlay suggests, may well be N s; in this case, the single vertical stroke before it must be I s. To the right of A s, two strokes cut short in the bottom can be seen. See Non-script notational systems for information on the marks on those fragments of helmets from the find which have not been included.
