Legibility: | good Macalister/1945, 269: `in good condition except that the top is fractured...The final A of the first angle is broken away (there may have been a second C preceding it). On the second angle only the first two notches of the E and the last three scores of the N remain: the final I is very faint, but can be traced. On the face opposite the inscribed face, about the middle, there is an oval sinking...It is to be noticed that the H-surface of the second angle has been pocked and chipped smooth to prepare it for receiving the writing'. |
