The only basis for a description of this fragment is Langlands' illustration which seems to show a panel with an incised outline and guide-lines, with the remains of three lines of text probably in Latin, in elaborate Anglo-Saxon capitals. These probably read:
PANIM
A + AI:·
C[. .—
The inscription has been plausibly interpreted as P(RO) ANIMA + AI (—) C[— by Okasha (1971, 103), presumably part of an orate formula. Such formulae are found on name-stones or on crosses such as that from Lancaster, but it seems most likely that this is part of an inscribed cross.
