Wrong, an 8 would have stood out, a 6 with a missing chip would fit
perfectly. The stone, BTW, has been retouched.


Not that part and not all of the stone! That's one of the things
that's been established and accepted by all who studied it no matter
what they believe re. the stone's age.



    "The last line of the inscription was cut through a
    portion of the cement surrounding the base, and the
    letters and figures cannot be clearly distinguised, the
    cement having been chipped away."
    (Prof. Curme, 1899)
    "This is the only mention of cement that I have found.
    Perhaps this is a mistake for the calcite deposits on
    the stone (see Winchell below) which show a greater
    amount of weathering than the greaywacke of the
    stone." (Michael Zalar)
