Χριστὸς νίκα Χριστὸς βοήθη ἐπισκώπου Πενμ

Christ conquer! Christ help! ...of Bishop Penm(?)...

Χριστὸς νίκα Χριστὸς βοήθη ἐπισκώπου Πενμ

It is possible that an earlier epigraph was removed in order for the lintel to be Christianized, although the space was never filled in with new letters. The reading of the latter half of line 3 is difficult. If the fifth letter of the third line is not pi, but tau, the meaning is no more obvious.
