Shug Days: Cracking a 270-year-old Epigraphical Mystery
Jack Mitchell, 2022. Antigone (online journal), 28 April 2022.
A classicist's review of the dating evidence (relief about 1748-50 after Andrew Baker; letters first recorded in 1817) and of the Stonor, Regimbal, Massey, Morton and Lichfield readings, proposing a memorial to Anne Venables-Vernon (d. 1742) and conceding it cannot be proven.
What it's used for here
The most careful recent treatment; source for dating and for the assessment of readings.
