Aberystwyth Studies. / by Members of the University College of PAGAN REVIVALISM UNDER THE ROMAN EMPIRE 9 Ibridge at Sizma and has been trimmed by the modern mason (who, unfortunately, had artistic aims without artistic training or archaeological veneration). In the process of beautifying the stone he chipped off the first line, perhaps two lines, and the initial and final letters of all the rest. I copied the inscription in 1905, and again my daughter and I re-copied it in 1909. The most difficult place is the end of line 2, where an oblique fracture running down from left to right breaks the two letters following omega. My MS. copy, 1905, shows that a broken ' K ' is the probable reading of the letter immediately following omega ; but I misinterpreted this as ^N' in the Classical Review, loc. cit., p. 370. In 1909 we both thought that the text was as above, mutilated ' K ' followed by a mutilated ' C Mr. Calder's very •careful re-examination of the stone in 1910, when he was aware of the doubt and of our reading, confirms our reading as given above; but he thinks ^ K ' cannot be restored, and only ' I' can. ^^/UJNAH MOYAIOCM£: P%JTTIOriY60AIONYC60 f ^'^ V;|H T60HTACAOYTC OC KA ^#lrOIKONOHOYN( §§§ J Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original University College of Wales (Aberystwyth, Wales).
