ae2 of honorius?

I just purchased this coin, the letters smna in exergue don't appear in any reference that  I have access to, is it possible the seller misidentified the mintmark?

Yes, Ryan, I think is a decargirus or (maior pecunia), im not sure on english the name. The mint is Cizico (393/395 After Christ). Pretty coin. Regards!
