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 U2 dA3 sL3 d(punctuation d)E d al·e, but while Cadore-style L3 d is documented in ST-5 and possibly AK-1.11, this reading may well be purely epigraphic fancy. U2 d 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.
