Kalbak-Tash XXX (A-58)
Description
This vertical inscription is situated on plane II in 5cm to the right of the inscription XV and 35cm higher than it. It consists of 11 signs; the length of the line is 15,8cm, the height of the characters 2,5cm. It was discovered by I. L. Kyzlasov in 1994.
The runic signs are written by this and clear strokes, however, a part of them was destroyed or spoiled by later round hollows. The first three runes are seen clearly, the runes 7–9 are less clear, the signs 4, 8, 9 are destroyed. The last two signа (10–11) are also not quite clear. Therefore the inscription is difficult to decipher.
