Interpretation

Commentary
As the photograph is not detailed, it is hard to see a number of the letters clearly. The second letter in the word interpretated as ml is much shorter than one would expect from a l, appearing like a n. Nevertheless, give the context ml seems more likely. The final letter of the inscription appears curved, but this is not certain, as there is no close up photo. Josef Bloomfield
