Problems/Questions

In the second line are two letters that look like Roman capital R, which is not a Greek letter. It is possibly to be read: SOITI<?>HEREROO. The first line might also be <?>SITI<?>, if the second letter (from the right, or from the left in the impression) is a lunate sigma. Or if both lines are in the Roman alphabet: <?>CITI<?>. If the round sign is a sigma or a C, then the first angle-bracket-looking sign can't be a (broken/worn) sigma. Not certain how the first line ends.
