Commentary

Missing letters at left and right on the reverse make reading the family name difficult. Visible letters are pi, iota (or eta), nu, omicron, and possible sigma, which could also belong to the beginning of the name “Sergios.” There seem to be only two, at most three, letters in the family name that are not visible. We tentatively suggest as possibilities Perenos or Patrenos.
