Commentary
Gasperini's indication about the direction of writing are somewhat confusing. Both readings proposed by him should be read from left to right. Moreover there seems no need to admit a delta with the shape of a Latin D for the second character.
All suggested readings being meaningless, neither seems compulsory, but for the fact that no Greek word would admit a group ΦΔ.
