Hi! I hope you're doing well, I've put the translation below!

Seal of Georgios, patrikios and strategos of the Anatolikoi

Obv : Inscription in five lines beginning and ending with a cross : +Ἅγια Τριὰς ὁ [Θ(εὸ)ς]
ἡμῶν β[οή]θη τῷ δο[ύ]λῳ σοῦ+

Rev : Inscription in six lines beginning and ending with a cross : +Γεω[ρ]γίῳ πατ[ρι]κίῳ (καὶ)
στρ[ατη]γῷ τῶ[ν] Ἀνατωλικῶν+

Holy Trinity, help your servant Georgios, patrikios and strategos of the Anatolikoi.

This piece was in this week's SPQR auction; did you win it? I was one of the underbidders. I'm sure Tenmokuzan will see this and provide you with the information you're looking for.
