In the first row a vertical hasta next to the fracture was interpreted as the letter I. By a careful analysis the lower part of a vertical hasta is to be seen in the second row as well. If we accept that we could have in both cases an I in the inscription, we can complete it to:

—]ina et/ —]inus prop(itii).

The authors of the IDR suggested that the name of the goddess from the first row could be Regina or Domina and that the name of a god should be in the second row bearing the epithet propitius. Bearing the above in mind a possible reconstruction of the inscription could read:

[Domjina et/ [Domjinus prop(itii).
