Commentary

First published in Cipolla 1884d: 414 ff. Autopsied by TIR on 19th November 2015.

Images in Pauli 1888: 148 (idealised rendering), Pellegrini 1918: 191, Fig. B (drawing), IR (drawing = Mancini & Prosdocimi 1976: 121), Mayr 1958 (photos).

Length 4.5 cm; starting on the inside of the crook. The surface of the object is hardly damaged; the lines are perfectly well distinguishable. The first four letters are unambiguous, as is final Nu. For the group of lines in between, various readings have been suggested. V s seems clear (definitely not Alpha (Pauli, IR), as the bar would be turned the wrong way). The upper bar of Digamma is, with a slightly misaligned second scratch, prolonged to touch the lower tip of the following, slightly oblique hasta. This latter, with its bar on top, is usually read L s (Whatmough's Upsilon is groundless). The short vertical on top is likely a punctuation mark, though secondarily inserted Iota (Schumacher) cannot be excluded. If the entire group is not a para-script element (cp. a similar group in NO-19), the prolongation of the bar of Digamma makes no sense. Marchesini reads a ligature with (inverted) Alpha (-valn), which is so far unparalleled in the Raetic corpus (but cp. VR-6); also the assumed bar of Alpha is completely vertical. In comparison with new material from the area of Verona (VR-10, esp. VR-11), the scratch which appears to connect Digamma with the following hasta may be considered to belong with the second letter, which can then be read Z2 s Zeta. In this case, the letters N sZ2 s zn are likely to represent the verbal form þinaχe. Cp. VR-4. malav remains obscure.
