Explaining a Completely Ungrammatical Greek Inscription from Old Dongola

During the fieldwork season, a new church had been uncovered on Kom H as part of the monastery complex, and Greek epigraphist Adam Łajtar and I were allowed in to record the inscriptions. This dipinto (painted inscription) in Greek is well preserved, but the Greek is so non-standard we have trouble understanding the precise meaning. This happens quite often. It is Greek, you can read it, but it still makes no sense!
