Another subject that I can offer for discussion relates to the "M"-like shape next to "portas".
I thought that it might be not an "M" shape, but an ornate "N" shape instead.
In the figure attached I show with an arrow where the disruption point may be contemplated. The portion to the right then presents a quite normal "n" much like that in "anchiton" or "nim". What remains to the left then, presents a curious decoration - maybe marking an abbreviation, since a single letter would be out of place here, unless with a symbolic value.
