According to Jarry, this is just a fragment of a much larger inscription which began with a Syriac transcription of the name Markos. He was able to distinguish one more uncertain letter, a semkath or qop, before the fully lost passage. He did not comment on the lost contents or the genre of this text.
Letter shapes partly resemble those of the serto script.
