At the end of the sixth row on the reverse, the craftsman intended to put a letter after the iota, but reconsidered, probably because he could still not end the text there, and deleted it; its traces, however, are visible. At the end of the seventh row, the craftsman was perhaps confused with the ending of the inscription, probably because of the deleted letter above, and ended it with a colon followed by a dash; there is nothing to the left of the omicron though.
