Commentary

First published in Pauli 1888: 143 f. Autopsied by TIR in October 2014.

Images in Pauli 1888: Tav. II,3 (drawing), Mayr 1957: Abb. 3 (photo), IR (photo tav. XXXVc = LIR) and LIR (drawing).

Length of the remains 6.3 cm. Inscribed along an antler handle, starting at the outer end. The lines are faint, the reading is disturbed by discolourations. A5 s is clear, being comparatively deeply carved; equally, the last preserved letter is definitely A s. The assortment of lines between the two Alphas, originally arranged into two Latin Nus by Pauli, was read uil·p by Mancini. The chevron U2 s following A5 s is clear, the I s following it is not: The left hasta of the chevron is crossed on top by three short parallel lines, which look unintentional, but align with an only slightly more pronounced line line d 01 s to the left of the chevron – possibly only a discolouration. L2 s is faint, but unambiguous; the element interpreted as a punctuation mark is most probably unintentional. Next, a hasta, from whose top a bar line d 20 s seems to extend, but no indentation can be felt – I s instead of P2 s is possible. Compare, however, ]ilp[ on what was probably also an antler or bone handle from Sanzeno (SZ-23). Note also that aulia(?) may be read on NO-9, if the lines are not merely decorative. A short scratch I2 s, which does not converge with the other two, is situated right in the centre of U2 s – maybe Χ3 s (cp. LIR)? A crooked oblique line line d 010 s, which might either be part of a particularly ramshackle letter or an unintentional scratch, is visible between A s and the breaking edge. Pseudo-script cannot be excluded.
