Macalister/1949, 35: `1N1 is fractured. At 2V the angle bends slightly, and 2V2 is obscure in consequence. The O is broken away, but is determined by the length of the fractured space. The penultimate A is broken, and the following C4 is damaged. The final vowel, which presumably followed the C, is gone. Although this stone was shattered into a larger number of pieces than its companion [DUNB/1] its inscription, on the whole, is better preserved'.
