Hi "mahratt"
with the risk to temperate your pleasure
I have some comments about the digits translation's

- if they is no doubt about the digit 1 (one) and 3 (three)
- I'm curious to know where have been read the digit 0 (zero) ??
- the fourth digit, if it's a digit, might be (under reserve) 4 (four)

according with me, I thought that it's a (rudimentary) "magic square" and not a datation

a name has been translated; AL GUERI, name without meaning

sorry to be touchy, but I like the precision

all the best

*******************************

I MUST CORRECT my post on above, I'm WRONG

I found strange that "Artzi" could provide some precision
(I respect their real professionalism) without basic

I examined more acutely the picture ... and I found the date
hope so that "Artzi" will accept my apologizes

with my best regards
Dom

Thanks, Dom! Could the inscription AL GUERI be the name of the owner of Khyber?
