Hi, all. I am at a loss on this one. I have searched through DOAKS and Gert Boersema's archive with no luck so far. I see at least two possible orientations for the
inscription. The horizontal one is with a 0 degree
axis, and the more vertical one has a 180 degree
axis.
Still very hard to be certain of any of the letters aside from the obvious one. Let me know if you recognize any patterns here. Thanks, Jimi
