Interpretation

Commentary
This is the text carved in thick lines. The letters are all clear and appear to be by the same hand, but the arrangement of the text is bizarre with the first name running from right-to-left and the bn and patronym running from left to right, each section running away from the other. A facsimile of this inscription and Howard Ramm 2 was published in Taylor & Howard 1999: 163.
