Rev. Aβλαvαθαvαλβα in large letters; under it, much smaller, πρὸς πάvτες (l. πάvτας); these are the last words of the inscription on the bevel, placed here for lack of room on the edge. On the bevel, encircling it a little more than twice, αρπovχvoυφι βριvτατηvωφρι βρισκυλμα ρυζαβαρα μεσεvκριφι vιπτoυμι χμoυμαω δός μoι χάριv Διovυσιάτι κύριεeθεὲdἤδη (πρὸς πάvτες). This legend is a variant of the formula discussed on the basis of several examples by Perdrizet (Mélanges Maspero, II, 1, 137–144), followed by the prayer “Grant me, Dionysias, favor in the sight of all, O lord God, quickly.” The magical words seem to belong to Horus-Chnum as a solar divinity; but κύριεeθεέ has a Jewish sound.

At sides, two winged goddesses, identical in appearance, though meant for Isis and Nephthys fanning the dead Osiris. Round margin, beginning at lower left, βαιvχωωωχ αβρασαξ.
