Reading Macalister, CIIC:

DRUGNO MAQI MUCOI [....] NAMI
The latter name was "wilfully mutilated". Only the H-part of G₂ is secure. 1N is "traceable". OMA is "traceable, though for some reason indistinct". QI is "quite clear", but the I is nearly extended into the Q. 2M is "traceable", the U is "gone". Of 2N, only N_4,5 are certain. As the stone stands within a distance of 7 mls. to the barony of Idrone East, Co. Carlow, this barony's name might be connected with the one of the "owner" of the monument.

Interpretation Korolev, DP, 62:

DRUGNO MAQI MUCOI [4/5] N&127;AMI
According to Macalister's draft, only 2 strokes of 2N exist, so that L,V,S,N are possible.

Reading Gippert (1978):

Dexter angle up - sinister angle down (?):
DRU[G
ìòñä[ð
ëëïïïïïâââ(ï)[ïâçç ïâëë || ççæï ]
The reading has to be checked again, especially because of the reading of the top and the direction of the inscription on the sinister angle.
