Interpretation

Commentary
The readings of several of the letters are doubtful as they appear to have tampered with. The arms of the fourth letter have been closed and there is a horizontal line going across and extending through the curve of the second b. The letter read as a n has a hammered dot in the middle giving it the appearance of a q or possibly a d.
