^{page 258 note *} The stone has since been shifted, as will be seen from the photograph, which only reached me long after these notes had been written. My friend Mr. Evans in the meantime had no less than eight different photographers to look at the stone, but none of them thought it worth their while to try to. photograph it : they despaired of reproducing the inscription, so he had the letters painted with blacking, and the present photograph was kindly taken by Mr. T. J. Davies, Groeslon, Carnarvon. This was not due to any suggestion of mine, but the photograph is excellent as a general representation of the stone, nor can I find any fault with the letters except the R, which, so far as I can remember, is better than it appears in the photograph ; and I am not sure whether the perpendicular of the p was not rather longer than it is here represented. For comparison I submit a rubbing which I touk in July.
