Critical apparatus:
- Macalister (1945, 123) surmised that ‘The missing letter or letters must have consisted of B-scores only, as even vowel-notches would have left some relics on the edge of the fracture’ and proposed that ‘NOELURI is, on the whole, the most satisfactory restoration of the second name’.
