224 APPENDIX I. 



him to Sir C. Fellows, from whom the author 

 received it. It is not in Mr. Daniell's memo- 

 randum-book, nor does it appear to have been 

 copied by any other person. The inscription is 

 nearly perfect, and forms a most important 

 addition to our knowledge of the language. 



There appear to have been two flaws in the 

 stone, of less width than at present, before the 

 letters were cut ; for the spaces are much greater 

 than is required for the missing letters. The 

 same circumstance occurs in several other in- 

 scriptions. Where the defects in the stone pre- 

 vented the artists from getting an even surface, 

 they appear to have left blank spaces, and con- 

 tinued the lines further on. 



The following is the best version of the inscrip- 

 tion which presents itself : —
