| Palaeography: | The drawing (Westwood/1879, Plate 86, Fig. 5) gives all the letters that can be made out in capitals. The second `U' is drawn with a rounded bottom, while the first is V-shaped. The drawing also placed points before and after BN, as well as what look like apostrophes after PP and CO. The Ed at the end of the drawing is taken to be a modern addition by Huebner/1876, 53, Westwood/1879, 192, and Macalister/1945, 311. |
| Legibility: | poor Westwood/1879, Plate 86, Fig. 5, shows that the letters, as drawn, are clear for the first two lines, but not for the third. |
