Stephanos ostiarios and chartoularios.

Stephanos ostiarios und chartoularios.

Στέφανος οστιάριος και χαρτουλάριος.

The legend can be interpreted in two distinct ways. One possibility is that both the dative (Stephanos and ostiarios, written with an omicron) and the nominative (chartoularios) are mixed in the text. An alternative interpretation is that the nominative is used throughout, with the name and the title of the issuer written without the sigma, i.e. abbreviated.
