I cant work it out, Sorry
I have come across this problem myself and I have found the best thing to do if you can is 1) take a rubbing as suggested above by
James1950 and then 2) wet the stone with a bottle of tap water and photograph it from as many different angles as you can, I use a digital camera and take pics in all the different colour setting too. From this and the rubbings I have managed to piece together the wording and read headstones I just couldn't read with the naked eye standing in front of them. Hope this helps.
