Inscription length 6.6 cm. While {{c||A3|d}}{{c||addN1}}{{c||A3|d}} {{w||ana}} seems clear, the leftmost group of scratches is problematic. It can simply be read {{c||addN1}}, with a short hasta like in the second {{c||addN1}}, making those letters converging with Latin {{c||addN1}}. However, there is a scratch slanting away from the top of the rightmost hasta, while a horizontal scratch turns the first angle into another {{c||A3|d}}. {{bib|IR|Mancini}} suggests an alternative reading {{c||A3|d}}{{c||P2|d}}{{c||A3|d}}{{c||addN1}}{{c||A3|d}} {{w||apana}}. The Latinoid character of the inscription (including "closed" {{c||A3|d}} with hardly inclined bar) may be considered to be in line with the fact that [[index::SZ-69 potsherd|the object too is atypical in Raetic context]].

Commentary

First published in IR. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in IR (photo tav. LI, fig. a and drawing = LIR).

Inscription length 6.6 cm. While A3 daddN1 sA3 d ana seems clear, the leftmost group of scratches is problematic. It can simply be read addN1 s, with a short hasta like in the second addN1 s, making those letters converging with Latin addN1 s. However, there is a scratch slanting away from the top of the rightmost hasta, while a horizontal scratch turns the first angle into another A3 d. Mancini suggests an alternative reading A3 dP2 dA3 daddN1 sA3 d apana. Concerning the Latinoid character of the inscription (including "closed" A3 d with hardly inclined bar), note that the object is not quite typical in Raetic context and may be an import and/or indicate a recent date for the inscription.
