Byzantine inscription / Ligatures
#5
Seems that Greek was not native tongue to the artist because syntax is poor but here it goes:

LORD OF POWERS WITH US (meaning: HE will aid us for sure )
"HE HEARD US" THE GOD OF JAKOB
THE "HOLY", THE GREAT, THE ETERNAL
"GIVE SUPPORT", BE THE FAITH OF
YOUR SERVANT THEOLOGOS "IF YOU WILL"
The words in quotes are badly or wrongly written and the syntax is poor.

I am under the impression that the artist worked in a hurry or under extreme presure. It is written as if some one has fumbled under stress.

Hope it helps
