Palaeography: | McManus/1991, 73: `A very light mark on the B side before the first V is unlikely to be part of the inscription and there is only one L in LOGIDDEAS (the reading in Pilsworth[/1972, 70] is LLOGIDDEAS). The scores of the U at the top of the first angle are somewhat longer than those of the vowels lower down and they look a little like H-series characters but the following C confirms that they are not. ... If MUCI is an arror for MUCOI, not MAQI/MACI, and this is suggested both by the U and the C'. Also see McManus/1991, 95, 102, 108, 111, 115, 118, 121, 171. |
