translated thus:

“‘[clovered this ornament, and for Aini his

The first letter of the word cumoaigen, covered, is omitted, 
and was probably given at the end of No. 1., as represented in 
the above conjectural restoration. 
Dr. O’Conor entirely failed to interpret these inscriptions; 
but Philip O’Cinneidigh (or O’Kennedy) and Aine his wife 
are historical personages, whose death is recorded by the Four 
Masters, A.D. 1381. Of the artist, Donnell O’Tolari, no- 
thing is known. The name O’Tolari is not found in our 
Annals or Genealogies; and although it seems to be plainly 
O’Tolari in the inscription, yet it is probable that O’Tolare, 
or O’Tolarg, must have been intended. 
The next inscription, No. m1., is so mutilated that it 
cannot be interpreted.
