Palaeography: | Macalister/1945, 220--221: `There are vague marks on the H surface before the O: it is conceivable, though, on the whole, improbable, that we are to read TORI- or QRI-. The S's are made with short scores, not well differentiated, and are partly clogged with lichen; they may possibly have an extra score each, making -BRANN-; and the last vowels might be re-grouped AI. But the above is the most likely reading: I record these alternatives as much to show that I was conscious of them as to suggest that I attached special importance to them. In the annexed photograph the space occupied by the scores is the half-inch to the left of the break in the uppermost edge of the stone as it there lies'. |
