In all probability, it represents the name of a former owner, with the reading direction upside down. We have to rotate the flan by 180° to try to read the letters in Greek cursive. Apart from the final “A”, the engraving makes it impossible to determine with complete accuracy which letters were inscribed., IC - XC, + ΜΙΧΑΗΛ RACIΛ O Δ |
