The first character is a +, then the rune CE. From the 
remains of the next character I should think it has been O ; 
the next, which I formerly read L, and which I thought an I 
might precede, I now see is N. The next is B (on the 
upright stroke of this, and below, are two lines of accidental 
marks where I imagine a spade struck the stone twice whilst 
it was in the ground). The letters L^D do not seem so 
plain to me now as in 1855, but the traces of inscription agree 
with those letters; and instead of CEDILBL^D I now 
read CEONBL^D. I believe the second line has been 
THIS SETT JE, but the traces of the letters are very faint. 
2. The first word is ^FTER (not ^FT^ER as I 
formerly read it) ; the stone has received a blow which has 
injured the surface between E and R. After the R I still 
see the G faintly on the casts and photographs. In the second 
line I see faint traces of the letter which I read F beneath 
the T of the first, but it may have been B ; then indents 
corresponding to the upper part of the M. On one of the 
photographs taken in 1855, 1 fancy I can see the B. 
3. The first letter is certainly A, the second U ; (the cast 
shows the two downstrokes distinctly, and I have a vivid 
recollection of this letter as it appeared to me on the stone 
before I read the first). The third is S, but between these 
two letters the stone has sufiered an injury which has broken 
away the surface, as shown in the tracing ; it is not, how- 
ever, as deep as the strokes of the letters, and appears but 
partially in my rubbing. The letters W I N I follow ; the 
cross-stroke of the N reaches to the first I and nearly to the 
second. Another injury to the stone below the cross-stroke 
has chipped away the surface so as almost to give to this 
letter the character of TH. After these is a K (calc). In 
the second line I still see the traces of YNING, and I 
believe that my restoration of the remainder was correct, both 
of this and of
