Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription is shallowly incised in very fine lines and where it has been damaged by the Modern inscription and by wear at the bottom of the face, it is not entirely clear. However, the BES23 photograph, shown here, confirms the WH copy and seems to show three more letters.
