Thank you Curtis,

the N of TwN must be ligated with ΠP.

Why? The N is clearly visible and separated ?

Dear Shanxi,

i learned that
ΠIP would have no sense as ΠP means ΠPOC.
Caesareôn tôn pr(os) Argaiô means : (coin from the inhabitants of) Caesarea who (tôn) (live) near (pros) Mount Argaios

What you read as an I is in my opinion the first upright stroke of the Π.

I expect that what we can observe may be something like ΠΡΩ ligate,
much as per the monogram I have illustrated below (or similar to it).
What do you think?

I think ΠPOC is written with omicron, not omega.

Double-oops!

This may be a bit better.
