| Palaeography: | CISP: The lettering is half-uncial. The Ds have ascenders which bend to the left over open bows. In the first instance the bow is heart-shaped. The E is in the open uncial form and the Ns are minuscule. The As have square bows, but not extended flourish. |
| Legibility: | poor Macalister/1949, 199: `The inscription is obscure, owing to the distribution of the lettering among the cantons; it seems to be meant for O~R~T~DO in the sinister cantons - (the O broken away, the R represented only by the lower tip, and the curve of the T, which alone remains, looking more like a C) - followed by the name CANANDEN, eccentrically distributed between the dexter cantons'. |
