The inscription that remains is in the two upper quadrants. It is uncertain whether the inscription was aligned horizontally, or whether it might have been circular.

Palaeography:CISP: Macalister/1909, 21, argues that the first letter was an inverted A, with the second letter O and the third possibly a D. The script of the inscription is therefore dependent on how we see the A. It could be a capitalis A, but other examples such as those on CLMAC/78 and CLMAC/84, indicate that it is an angular half-uncial A.
Legibility:some
Macalister/1909, 21: `Parts of three letters remain at the top; it is difficult to decipher these, as the first seems to be an A inverted with respect to the rest'. Macalister then states that his reading can 'only be a guess'.
