Roger Tomlin, editor of Roman Inscriptions in Britain, examined it May 1998, and thinks the writing may be two personal names "Super ... Patientia". See his letter with notes placed in the archive June 1998.

Context (Display)
Martin Henig and Roger Tomlin wrote 'Constantine the Great' exhibition catalogue: 'The incised decoration of the octagonal flange is unusual. It consists of a large Chi-Rho flanked by Alpha and Omega and with a small crescent above. The figural decoration consists of a peacock, two peahens, an owl and four tritons. the peacock symbolises immortality; the nereids in pagan contexts symbolise the passage of the soul to felicity after death, but for a Christian they could signify rebirth at baptism; the owl, Minerva' s bird, may have been borrowed from pagan iconography to represent Holy Wisdom.'
