This is the text according to the Takeshi transcription:

Well, I can give you the Slavic VCI reading of this piece of text:
<ras déc#>
<cas# #je#>
<rzr calch>
<#ip#>
<roch>
<rasc#>
<co#>
Many of these vords do indeed look like West Slavic words or syllables, but again it is very difficult to make accurate interpretations of just a few words in isolation.
It is tempting to compare the first two vords <ras déc#> to the Russian verb "razdet'sja", meaning "to undress". Modern West Slavic languages do not appear to have a very similar word with a similar meaning. But it is possible that in the medieval period some similar word did still exist in a West Slavic dialect, since the Slavic languages were not as divergent then as they are now--as a reference point, scholars estimate some degree of mutual intelligibility among all Slavic dialects until as late as the 10th century or later.
However, this is speculation about just two vords in isolation. It might be correct, but it might not be correct. Caveat lector.
