| Legibility: | poor Macalister/1945, 270: `The top of the stone has been broken off and with it has gone the middle of the inscription...The fracture passes just above the third score of a letter on the B-side, following 3I at the top of the dexter edge, and through the first score of the letter at the top of the sinister edge. The face flanked by the inscribed angles has certainly been trimmed by chipping, and on the right-hand edge, below the final S, there are suggestions of the tips of the scores of an earlier inscription'. |
