thanks! Wiki claims that
"others were found in excavations at Corinium (modern Cirencester) and Dura-Europos (in modern Syria).
Other sator squares are on the wall of the Duomo of Siena, on the pavement outside the church of the Knights in Valetta, Malta and on the tombstone of composer Anton von Webern, who experimented with the sator square in a musical way.
A sator square found in Manchester is considered by some authorities to be the earliest evidence of Christianity in Britain
Other authorities believe the sator square was Mithraic in origin.
The sator square is a four-times palindrome, and some have attributed magical properties to it, considering it one of the broadest magical formulas in the occident; for example, the 19th-century Pennsylvania Dutch used it to protect cattle from witchcraft ."
So apparently the palindrome got quite reputation!
