Macalister/1945, 262: `now much worn, the top is broken and spalled...The final NA of the second angle is carried across the face of the stone, upon a natural ridge, to avoid collision with the end of the first angle. In consequence, the N is inverted, and looks like a Q; the lapidary has not improved matters by putting the following A in the wrong relative position'.
