Commentary

Not previously published. Examined by TIR in July 2014.

Image in Mandl 2011: Abb. 142 (photo).

The very doubtful remains of a vertical inscription on Bildstelle 5, to the right of AK-1.15. Only faint traces are left. A tentative reading of the group to the left of the third letter of AK-1.17 (about 80 cm from the ground) is dextroverse () al·e, but while Cadore-style is documented in ST-5 and possibly AK-1.11, this reading may well be purely epigraphic fancy. would be inverted in Northern Raetic (Magrè alphabet) context. Also, the characters, with about 6.5 cm, are small compared to other Raetic rock inscriptions. Possibly a pseudo-inscription.
