Macalister/1945, 353, 'Roman capitals...the FI is, as usual, ligatured. The omission of the following LI is presumably due to the lapidary's error'. The two Gs are sickle-shaped, or half-uncial. The MA of SENOMAGLI are conjoined, but not ligatured, and the letters vary in height with the S being consistently the tallest and the OMA of SENOMAGLI the smallest. |
