Commentary
The reading of the reverse monogram is reasonably certain; Zacos mistakenly sees a ρ in the broken bottom arm of the cruciform; if it, as is unlikely, is a σ, it may read Εὐτυχιανοῦ σχολαστικοῦ, though the genitive with the additional title hypatos in the dative would be extremely unlikely.
