Translation
ὁμωνυμοῦντι σὴν χάριν δίδου, θύτα.
Bishop, bestow your grace upon your servant of the same name.
Commentary
The loss of the image on the obverse prevents identification of the seal's owner who invokes his namesake to bestow his grace upon him. The term he uses (θύτης, or priest) suggests a bishop-saint, perhaps St Nicholas.
