Reading Brash, OIM 230 ("no. 4."):

גננדןגמםוהגנוהטט (!)
AGGOMAQIAGIDD
Aggo or Acco is a "new name"; cp. Accobran and Agatan in Mart.Don., "Gaulish forms, Aca .. Grut. 718.7, and Acco-nius .. Stein. 732. The "patronymic Agidd" is not identifiable either; but cp. Aghda in Ann. 4 Mas. AD 972 and the "Gaulish forms, Acidinus .. Grut. 438.8." - Note that Brash rendered the two final letters as Ls in his Ogham transcript.

Reading Ferguson, OI 106 (175. D):

]GGOMAQIGILL/S[
"aggo maqi agill"
This might contain "gill, suggestive of a Christian designation in gilla".

---

Reading Macalister, Epig. 2, 103 (98; IV.):

זזזגננדןגמםוהגנוהטטזזז
]aGGOMAQIAGILL[..
Possibly the first name was Deggo. The commencement of AGILL "resembles Saxon rather than Celtic."

---

Reading Macalister, CIIC:

...]GGO MAQI AGILL[....
The A before the first G as read by older investigators cannot be acknowledged. The M is slightly S-shaped. "There is room after the double G for the three notches of a U .. but after some hesitation I finally decided in favour of the old reading, O. Brash's AGIDD, as his drawing shows, is a mere lapsus calami".

---

Reading Harbison, Guide 115:

...GGO MAQI AGILL....

---

Interpretation Korolev, DP 85:

...]A&127;GGO MAQI AGILL[...
The A at the beginning as read by older investigators was present also in Macalister's own recordings, so it should be upheld."

---

Reading Gippert (1978/1981):

Angle up:
A]GGO MAQI AG[
ג]ננדןגמםוהגנו[
ג]ןןזןןגגןגכככככגגגגגזגןןגג[
The A in the beginning seems visible. The stone would ahve to be dug up for the end of the inscription to be verifiable.
