Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 6--7, notes a fracture through the ogham following the seventh character, but adds that for the early elements of the inscription `enough of the inscribed surface is intact, even in the neighbourhood of the fracture'. This cannot be said of its later characters. He notes that the `proximal ends of the C are spalled away', and queries Rhys/1907 on the reading of the antepenultimate letter as an S. Macalister suggests rather a U-forfid. The poor legibililty of the majority of this inscription led him to attempt a retroverse reading, resulting in `nothing..better than Decuns o Micill', which, he suggests, `is worth recording, if only as a warning that nothing is to be expected from this expedient!'. |
