Translation

Σκέποις με πάτερ Θεόδωρον Κουτρίκην.

Holy Father, may you protect me, Theodore Koutrikes.

Commentary

Wassiliou-Seibt reads σῶτερ rather than πάτερ in the third line of the inscription on the obverse. Based on the traces of letters still visible πάτερ appears to be a more likely reading.

Cf. Stavrakos, "Privatsammlungen," 190.
