Translation

Κομιτᾶς βεστιτώρος καὶ σχολαρίου.

(Seal of) Komitas, vestitor and scholarios.

Commentary

The reading of the obverse as Κομιτᾶς is problematic because there is almost certainly an ω below the alpha. However, Zacos's suggestion of Κωνσταντίνου has issues in its own right, as there is almost certainly a Μ not a Ν.
