Macalister/1945, 96--97: `the scores are pocked and rubbed on one edge: the last two letters are on the top of the stone. The rest of the top angle has been battered; there seems to have been a continuation of the inscription running along here and down the sinister angle, of which no trace now remains; in all probability in the forbidden "MUCOI" formula'.
