288 OGAM STONE AT LEWANNICK. 



Prof. Rhys, to whom T afterwards sent the rubbings, very 

 kindly wrote to me on the subject, and as his opinion is of so 

 much value, I have taken the liberty of inserting some of his 

 remarks in connection with the word memoria, especially that 

 portion regarding the absence of the e. 



It is in my opinion far better not to read a word at all, than 

 to read it incorrectly, simply for the sake of making a translation 

 of the whole legend, for which there is no justification. For 

 the present, then, I at least must be content to let memoria 

 remain memoria, without offering any solution as to the meaning 

 of the word.
