| Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 164: `The E and the 1N1 overlap: 1I is spalled quite away. The second name is clearly RODDOS not REDDOS, as in previous publications'. Cuppage/etal/1986, 254, `Macalister (1945, 164-5) suggested that the first word should end with an I, but that the scores had been spalled away...as this portion of the stone now lies beneath the ground surface, this could not be verified. It is unclear whether the 2nd vowel of this word should be read as E or U; a 4th vowel notch may overlap with the first N score as Macalister suggests. The M is also buried now but...the adjacent A notch is quite clear; the I notches however are only vaguely discernible. The vowels in the final word are similarly unclear but it is likely that O was intended in each case'. |
