Interpretation

Commentary
After the word hb the interpretation of the inscription is difficult. The line after the b is probably part of a chip. One of the forks of the eighth letter has been hammered over and the fourth letter from the end has a tail and looks like a s¹ but it is possible the tail is a ligature joining the letter to the preceding m.
