Length about 79 cm, running towards the ground; today the end is about 1.5 m from the ground. Situated on the right-hand side just behind the entrance to the crevice, the middle one of a group of three; well legible despite some erosion. Our reading follows {{bib|Schumacher 2004}}: 345 ff. and 351 ff. The first letter is generally read {{c||R}}, but compare the first letter in [[index::IT-4]] and [[index::IT-8]] which can be argued to be a Venetoid form of Pi {{c||P4}}. See also {{bib|Zavaroni 2004}}: 49 f. {{c||U5}}{{c||A19}}{{c||T}}{{c||I}}, including the Upsilon, are unambiguous. Of the sixth letter, only a hasta, curving in imitation of the second line of {{c||U5}} (cp. the final parts of the three inscriptions), is clearly visible. The hasta of following {{c||E}} is straight again, leaving some room in the upper area between the two hastae, in which the angle of an {{c||N}} may be detected. (Cp. {{bib|Joppich 1971|Joppich}}, who read {{w||ritaunesi}}.) A name {{w||pitaune}} is not attested elsewhere, but cp. {{w||piθamne|pitam/ne}} (for a possible parallel for the insertion of ''u'' before a simplified nasal cluster see {{w||esiunne}}). {{bib|Rix 1998}}: 10 suggests {{w||pitalie}}, cp. {{w||piθale}} on [[index::MA-9]], but this would mean a writing mistake (prolonged bar of {{c||L}} → {{c||U5}}) and fail to explain the straightness of {{c||E}}. {{c||U}} in {{c||E}}{{c||L}}{{c||A19}}{{c||U}}{{c||N}} is hardly visible, but see {{bib|Schumacher 2004}}: 346 f. The straight hasta of {{c||A19}} is a prolongation of that of {{c||U5}} in [[index::ST-1]]. The hasta of {{c||L}} is executed as a curve following the rounded second hasta of {{c||A19}}.

The sequence can be segmented into a typical two-part Raetic name in the pertinentive case. The inscription belongs with [[index::ST-1]], but appears to be written in a different hand: The letters are taller, the bars of Kappa are rounded, and the name {{w||kastrie-|Kastrie}} is spelled with {{c||Z}}, a letter which is here classified as a form of Zeta, but which might also be considered a graphic variant of the Tau used in [[index::ST-1]]. For details see [[index::Script]]. It ought to be mentioned that the upper bar of {{c||Z}} is much fainter than the lower one (cp. the respective letter in [[index::SZ-3]]); note also that {{bib|Zavaroni 2004|Zavaroni}} (p. 50) reads {{c||Z}} instead of {{c||T}} also in [[index::ST-1]]. The last letter {{c||T}} enjoys a somewhat doubtful status – while it is not improbable that the writer added maybe a verb to his inscription, the bar might not be intentional and the vertical line part of the cartouche. Any continuation of the inscription must be lost as the surface of the rock in the area beneath it was chipped and evened to add another petrograph in more recent times. The line drawn under the inscription has subsequently been prolonged and recycled as part of a cross.

Commentary

First published in Vetter 1957.

Images in Vetter 1957: Taf. VI (photos = Mayr 1960: Abb. 2 and 3), Prosdocimi 1971: 35 (drawing = Schumacher 1992: Taf. 8,2), Joppich 1971: 41 (drawing), Zavaroni 2004: Fig. 1 (drawing), Fig. 2 and 3 (photos), Schumacher 2004: Taf. 18 (drawing) and Mandl 2011: Abb. 1, 130, 131 (photos). Numerous casts have been made of the Steinberg inscriptions; positives of the most recent one, made by the Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte Innsbruck in 1993, can be seen at the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum and the Archäologische Staatssammlung München. Drawings of the arrangement of the inscriptions in Vetter 1957: 386, Prosdocimi 1971: 30, Zavaroni 2004: Fig. 15 and Schumacher 2002: 1276 (= Schumacher 2004: Taf 8,1); photos of the wall in Sydow 1989: Abb. 6, Gleirscher 1991: Abb. 3 and Mandl 2011: Abb. 133.

Length about 79 cm, running towards the ground; today the end is about 1.5 m from the ground. Situated on the right-hand side just behind the entrance to the crevice, the middle one of a group of three; well legible despite some erosion. Our reading follows Schumacher 2004: 345 ff. and 351 ff. The first letter is generally read R s, but compare the first letter in IT-4 and IT-8 which can be argued to be a Venetoid form of Pi P4 s. See also Zavaroni 2004: 49 f. U5 sA19 sT sI s, including the Upsilon, are unambiguous. Of the sixth letter, only a hasta, curving in imitation of the second line of U5 s (cp. the final parts of the three inscriptions), is clearly visible. The hasta of following E s is straight again, leaving some room in the upper area between the two hastae, in which the angle of an N s may be detected. (Cp. Joppich, who read ritaunesi.) A name pitaune is not attested elsewhere, but cp. pitam/ne. Rix 1998: 10 suggests pitalie, cp. piθale on MA-9, but this would mean a writing mistake (prolonged bar of L s → U5 s) and fail to explain the straightness of E s. U s in E sL sA19 sU sN s is hardly visible, but see Schumacher 2004: 346 f. The straight hasta of A19 s is a prolongation of that of U5 s in ST-1. The hasta of L s is executed as a curve following the rounded second hasta of A19 s.

The sequence can be segmented into a typical two-part Raetic name in the pertinentive case. The inscription belongs with ST-1, but appears to be written in a different hand: The letters are taller, the bars of Kappa are rounded, and the name Kastrie is spelled with Z s, a letter which is here classified as a form of Zeta, but which might also be considered a graphic variant of the Tau used in ST-1. For details see Script. It ought to be mentioned that the upper bar of Z s is much fainter than the lower one (cp. the respective letter in SZ-3); note also that Zavaroni (p. 50) reads Z s instead of T s also in ST-1. The last letter T s enjoys a somewhat doubtful status – while it is not improbable that the writer added maybe a verb to his inscription, the bar might not be intentional and the vertical line part of the cartouche. Any continuation of the inscription must be lost as the surface of the rock in the area beneath it was chipped and evened to add another petrograph in more recent times. The line drawn under the inscription has subsequently been prolonged and recycled as part of a cross.
