Macalister/1945, 161, `In its present state it begins with a Q4; the proximal ends of this and the following score, as well as the following I are chipped away. So is the U of MUCOI, and the angle of the stone is fractured after C2, leaving nothing of the rest of the inscription but the last notch of the final I of that word...There is an appearance as of the tips of two other scores low down on the fractured sinister angle, but these are illusory'.
