Commentary
The beginning of the text has broken off and the missing piece was not found. The face is blank after the last visible letter which is rather short for a y but cannot really be anything else.

Provenance
WH Cairn 40 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
