Letter

A few suggestions about this (though I'm not an inscriptions expert, just a Latinist):<br>
<br>
-TIA ATQUE PROVIDENTIA<br>
This is "something and foresight"; the -TIA suggests another feminine abstract noun such as e.g. sapientia, constantia, etc.<br>
<br>
NA QVOQVE CASTROR-<br>
Next letters will be -UM; castrorum = "of the camp"<br>
<br>
QVAE FVIT AD ID-<br>
"which" (feminine singular) "was at ID-"<br>
ID- could be the first letters of IDEM "the same".<br>
<br>
-PLINA IAM INDE AD<br>
-PLINA might well be the end of DISCIPLINA.<br>
"discipline now from there/then"<br>
<br>
ETSINE QVA ERELI-<br>
ET SINE QVA = "and without which"<br>
ERELI- Could be E RELI- in which case E RELICTIS "from the remainder"?<br>
<br>
PRA DIXI PER-<br>
-PRA is probably the end of SUPRA<br>
In which case could be UT SUPRA DIXI "as I stated above"<br>
<br>
