'of Donnáed son of Marianus'
The personal name DUNAIDONAS contains the elements DUN(A)- (probably don(n) 'dun, brown'; cf. DOVAIDONA[S], Dubáed with dub 'black') and one of the most frequently occurring elements in final position, -AIDONAS (áed 'fire'), with the composition vowel 'a' elided before the initial vowel of -AIDONAS (McManus 1991, 103, 117).
MARIANI is an example of a genitive form of a Latin name, Marianus, also found on CIIC 188 Kinard East, Co. Kerry (McManus 1991, 113).
Both of these namse display pre-apocope endings suggesting that the inscription is pre-6th century (McManus 1991, 103, 116).
