Translation: Divine Word, watch over the seal's owner, your servant George Barganes.
Parallel, Doaks online, BZS.1951.31.5.1136.
In the parallel at Dumbarton Oaks, the name has been read as "Bardanes." However, on our seal, the fourth letter appears as gamma. Therefore, we might suggest "Barganes" instead of "Bardanes."
