No one really knows that the signature is, but the latest version is:

"To Tirkia, so he would grow" - it seems to explain all the letters (Tirkia Dato was leaving unexplained sr in the middle).

Tirkia sounds to me like Abkhaz/Apsua name, basically more of a circassian than georgian. Would really interesting to see the niello...
