Here's an example of "te" latin.
We can admire it in south west of France, in a coffered ceiling of the castle of Dampierre-sur-Boutonne
It's written : .NEC.TE.NEC.SINE.TE. (not to you but not without you)

Hi!
I think, in Latin, it is likely : " Not by (with) you, but, not without you", therefore "te" in ablative.
If the second line of the You are not allowed to view links.

In this case: "de carcere portas" means "gates/doors from a prison". This idea is not new, but, probably, is more possible. Personally, I think that there are two words: "tar tere" or "car cere", or "tar ceve", etc.

This has been introduced by Dr. Damschen in "Klausis Krypto Kolumne" ( comment You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ):

f.116v.2: árchic/ton ólla dabás multás (t/d)e cárcere pórtas.


The verse scheme is:

_uu _uu _ _ _ _ _uu _ _


So it really seems to be a possible reading.
