Translation

 

Commentary

The first preserved letter might be a tailed rho. The second is certainly an iota. The third and last is probably an alpha, although it is difficult to see why the second right diagonal should have caused some trouble. The triangle that is well cut could suggest that a tailed rho was originally intended. [- -]ΡΙΑ̣
