"This stone was split longitudinally before being put into its present position. The whole of the inscribed angle has gone". The surface showing scores was regarded as the B-surface by Rhßs [where?]; taking it as the H-surface, a "consistent reading" can be acquired. - "There is clear evidence of õ, near the end of the inscription .., immediately preceded by a g. In this collocation õ must be taken in its vocalic value, e; this indicates a late stone, and makes the restoration maci .. certain." The name after MACI could be restituted as Sogeni similar to Sogini appearing on "one of the Roovesmore stones" {126}.

The stone "had suffered serious injury" before "being laid in the cave", in that "a slab .. had been split from all but a few inches of the bottom of the inscribed face, carrying away all the vowels and all scores on the B-surface". The inscription had covered "two angles (up-top-down)" originally. The two E's were written as forfeda. On the top of the stone, *MAQI is "obviously indicated".
No interpretation is given by Korolev, DP (84).
No reading is given by McManus, Guide (65).
Reading Gippert (1978/1981):
No reading is attempted. Although the existing scores on the (dexter) angle are quite clear, they seem not to form part of an inscription. There is no indication whatsoever that the 
frontal surface was split off by a secondary flake. The scores on the top and on the sinister angle as read by Macalister and indicated in his draft cannot be ascertained.
