Interpretation
- Commentary
- Parts of the third letter are rather doubtful in the photograph. The lines of the sixth letter from the end are rather doubtful and there is an additional line which if part of the letter would suggest it should be read as a rather carelessly inscribed m. There is probably space for three names between the first and last names but most of the letters are damaged and illegible.
