Commentary

Βουλίνου is the only seemingly possible resolution to the reverse monogram, strange as it is. The corroded letter at the right termination seems to be a backwards Ν, though it is possible that it could be something else. Additionally, perhaps the Λ at the bottom termination is a mistake for an Α, and therefore the correct reading is Λιβάνου (Libanos).
