Interpretation
- Commentary
- The surface of the stone has been heavily damaged, concealing almost the entire genealogy. The narrative is clearer on the stone. The first letter after w, looks like a straight line, i.e. a l. The reading here assumes that the hook of a ġ is concealed by the damage on teh right side of the letter, at the edge of the face of the stone. The photograph here is the only available photograph that shows the stone in focus.
