| Palaeography: | Macalister/1945, 298--299: `The interspacing of the first vowel is irregular; it is slightly divided, as though AE: but that is due to mere carelessness. IE, though broken, exists; the letter is not OA as read in (1895). The last vowel of the first name is certainly O, though the scores are rather widely spaced. In the second line the only point to notice is the undue length of the scores of the T (about 5"). The final S is all broken away except the proximal ends of S'. |
| Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 298--299: `Some of the vowel notches are faint, and the scores at the upper end of the second line are damaged by the injury which has affected the cross...E, though broken, exists; the letter is not OA...the last vowel of the first name is certainly O...the final S is all broken away except the proximal ends of [the first two strokes of] S'. |
