Macalister/1945, 65, `The H-surface is flaked away as far as the L, so there may have been a letter on that side preceding the O. The top is broken away after Q, and some of the scores are clogged with lime'.

McManus/1991, 107, expresses some doubt as to the reading of the name.

Gippert/Web, 61, `Given that the stone is broken at the bottom, it is not clear at all whether the inscription started with the O originally'.
