To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

HIC IACENT IN TVMVLO DVO FILI LIBERALI.
The letters on this Yarrow stone are — with one doubtful exception 2 — Eoman capitals, of a ruder, and hence perhaps later, type than those cut on the Cat-stane ; but the letters MV in TVMVLO are tied together in exactly the same way on the two stones. The omission of the aspi- rate in (H)OC, as seen on the Cat-stane, is by no means rare. The so- called bilingual, or Latin and Ogham, inscribed stone at Llanfechan, Wales, has upon it the Latin legend TRENA
...CATVS IC JACET FILIVS MAGLAGNI— the aspirate being wanting in the word HIC.
It is wanting also in the same way, and in the same word, in the inscrip- tion on the Maen Madoc stone, near Ystradfellte, viz., DERVACI FILIVS IVLII IC IACIT ; and on the Turpillian stone near Crick- howel. In a stone, described by Mr Westwood, and placed on the road from Brecon to Merthyr, the initial aspirate in " hoc" is not entirely dropped, but is cut in an uncial form, while all the other letters are Roman capitals ; thus IN hOC TVMULO.
