Macalister/1945, 253--254, `In the photograph published at the above reference [Crawford/1906, 36, 47] and here reproduced [Macalister/1945, 254], 3M appears to be crossed by an oblique line in the opposite sense, which would make a K of it, and beneath 4I2 there appear three radiating strokes. These are examples of the disconcerting tricks which photography sometimes plays in epigraphic work: I could not find the slightest trace of these marks when I examined the stone itself'.
