Eagle with spread wings on ground at l. The head of the principal figure is not that of a cock, since there is no trace of a comb. It may have been intended for a hawk's head, but the rounded outline is more like that of a chick or some small bird.
Rev. In two lines, λαμαχριε διαντωθ. Some letters may have been lost from the beginning of the first word, as the stone is chipped.
