Notes
This inscription on a boundary stone is incomplete and partially illegible. Several lines are missing from the top and perhaps the bottom of the stone. In the third and fourth lines, which cannot be reconstructed, we would expect the name of a landowner, village, or people. Dimensions given refer to entire remainder of stone.
