ΧΜΓ ΚΥΡΙΕΒΟΗΘΙΦΙΛΟΛΟΓΙΩ ΤΩΜΑΓΙϹΤΡΙΑΝΩΚΑΙ ΖΗΝΩΝΙΤΩΑΔΕΛΦΩΑΥΤΟΥ

Χριστός Μιχαήλ Γαβριήλ Κύριε βοήθει Φιλολογίῳ τῷ μαγιστριανῷ καὶ Ζήνωνι τῴ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.

God helps (or Christ Michael Gabriel, or: Christ born of Mary). O Lord, help Philologius the agens in rebus and his brother Zeno.

Χριστός Μιχαήλ Γαβριήλ Κύριε βοήθει Φιλολογίῳ τῷ μαγιστριανῷ καὶ Ζήνωνι τῴ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ.

The abbreviation could also be interpreted as a reference to Christ's birth from Mary, thus reading: Χ(ριστός) (ὁ ἐκ) Μ(αρίας) γ(εννεθείς).
