Commentary

First published in Mandl 2011: 124.

Picture in Mandl 2011: Abb. 134 (photo). Photo of the entire rock wall in Mandl 2011: Abb. 97.

Length about 28 cm, running vertically towards the top at about 60 cm from the bottom slightly to the right of the centre of the rock wall. Framed by a cartouche. The right- and left-hand side lines seem to disappear into a cavity at about 18 cm below the first visible character, but this extension may be due to the original lines channeling water running down the rock face. However, no short frame line before the inscription is visible.

Only two letters are legible. The inscription appears to start with a character of which only the lower part of a hasta plus bar slanting downwards line v 01 sline d 02 s is left. U5 d is deeply scratched and unambiguous. After it, the remains of another character very similar to the first one, the angle being slightly larger. Then a heavily eroded area, where only vague traces of probably only one character may be guessed at. Lastly, well preserved E d before a frame line marking the end of the inscription.
