Commentary
Because of the missing section on the left side of the inscription, the second line of the reverse inscription presents a minor issue: the broken off Π--which looks like a Τ, which is necessary to the intelligibility of the following ΩΙΚ,Ν. However, its restitution as a Π is both quite likely and quite plausible given the surrounding inscription.
