Palaeography:Macalister/1949, 74: `The final AN looks a little different from the rest of the letters as though they had been tampered with. This is well shown in a photograph published by Armstrong [Armstrong/1908, 393]. The third letter, like the fourth, is certainly R, not N, as might at first sight be supposed'.

CISP: The lettering is Insular half-uncial. The A is in the 'OC' form. The R's are half-uncial, the B has a closed bow and a vertical ascender and the E is in the closed minuscule form.
