Interpretation

Commentary
The second letter is faint and there is some lichen over the next letter or letters which makes it difficult to know how it should be read. It seems likely that the author wrote a r after the second g and then realising that there was not enough room to continue the inscription down towards KRS 1213 wrote another smaller r and then, without crossing out the first r, continued above KRS 1213.
