Legibility: | poor Macalister/1945, 75: `...it was impossible to read the inscription until the cave had been dismantled...The last word is worn and flaked away except the first two letters: faint traces can be discovered here and there, but they are quite indefinite - probably illusory'. Gippert/Web, Ogham 71: `Of Macalister's GA-, there are hardly any traces visible at all'. |
