CORRECTED INSCRIPTIONS

In the word ‘Constantine’ the iota is enclosed in the second down-stroke
of the ligature KN, thus we transcribe without brackets. The ligature JB in
the word 'Pcoiiodcov seems unquestionable. The isolated dark cube on the
right of the rho, at first supposed to be a point, belongs to this hgature. The
end of the inscription is clear. The letters M and A without the horizontal
bar, are linked together. The I is followed by a second hgature formed by
the letters CO and N.
