Translation

Γεωργίου δούλου τῆς Θεοτόκου.

(Seal of) George, servant of the Theotokos.

Commentary

The Latin G on the obverse is likely an abbreviation signaling the first initial of the Latin Georgius, as on the seal of likely the same individual (with the addition of the title hypatos), BZS.1947.2.597.
