| Palaeography: | Macalister/1949, 33: `The L at first sight looks like a T, owing to the accidental horizontal marks on each side of the upright stroke, at about the level of the tops of the other letters'. CISP: The lettering is Insular half-uncial. The R and S are in the half-uncial forms, with vertical strokes that extend below the base-line of the other letters. The D has an ascender which bends to the left over an open bow and the L is curved. The two A's differ from each other. The first example has a triangular bow and a vertical stroke which extends below this bow. The second example is minuscule. |
