VII.—Notes on some Inscribed Stones in Cornwall.—By Rev. W.. 
Jaco, B.A., WESTHEATH, BopMIn, (ZL.8. of the Society of Anti- 
quaries, London). 
Hee in former communications* endeavoured to give 
correct readings of the Inscriptions on two old stones, (one 
at Bodmin and the other at Slaughter or Slovaens Bridge), both 
of which had long engaged attention and been regarded as objects 
of interest, I now proceed to lay before the Members of the 
Royal Institution of Cornwall, some observations which may tend 
towards the elucidation of others :— 
THE PHILLACK STONE DECIPHERED. 
The Inscription, hitherto undeciphered, on the rugged Monolith 
at Phillack is, without doubt, | Clotuali 
Mogratti. 
Mr. Blight, F.S.A., and Mr. R. Edmonds have both referred to it 
in their respective works{ on the Antiquities of Cornwall—but 
no regular attempt to read it seems to have been made till now ; 
for, the former remarks that it is “much worn” though “worthy 
of notice” ; the latter, describes it as “apparently illegible.” Mr. 
A. Paull has rightly recorded} that some of its letters are of the 
type, or form, usually denominated Saxon. 
The Stone, Mr. Edmonds states, measures 73 feet in length, 
and was discovered in 1856—during the rebuilding of the Church, 
by the present Rector, Rev. F. Hockin—amongst the foundations 
of the South-Eastern corner of the chancel. With Mr. Hockin
