Macalister/1945, 441, was also dubious about the authenticity of the inscription.

Okasha/1993, 296--297: `The text is now illegible...The `text', highly deteriorated though it is, does not look much like lettering to me. It is possible that it consists of a carved pattern, or of accidental markings'.

Thomas/1994, 328, gives no reading for the stone, and suggests that it is of medieval or later date.
