Interpretation

Commentary
The text is carved in thinly incised letters. It strange that the larger, chiselled, text above it on the rock (WH 2455.1) does not seem to have been recorded by WH.

Provenance
WH Cairn 34 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
