Legibility: | some Macalister/1945, 20, notes the partial character of the surviving inscription: `There must have been two lines of writing, up-up: what is left is the second line, which (exceptionally) was on the dexter side'. Gippert/1997, Ogham 17: `Only one vowel notch is preserved at the beginning of the fracture. The H-half of both M characters is extremely short, thus suggesting a reading B; MUCOI at least seems certain, though'. |
