Macalister/1949, 75: `There was an inscription in two lines, above and below the transom of the cross, and apparently inverted with respect to it: for when the letters are set in an upright position, the longer portion of the vertical stem is above the transom, the shorter portion below. The inscription begins with a horizontal stroke, presumably the sinister arm of an initial cross, which has been broken from the stone with the rest of the dexter margin'.
