@Chiswick Chap: There was some discussion of the picture when I did the DYK. User:Archer2711 said "I can send more info and images if you want..." That was a while ago but you could try emailing them. The Vyne is a National Trust property and I'm a member and so might visit there when they re-open. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Every source I've seen parses the words SENICIANEVIVASIINDE as SENICIANE VIVAS IIN DE and then complains that there are two errors, IN should have one I and DEO should have an O. But why shouldn't it be parsed SENICIANE VIVAS I INDE (may you live, Senicianus, get out of there). That parsing contains no errors. Rwflammang (talk) 16:44, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
This page is NOT A FORUM for discussing off-Wiki matters. The interpretation of the text is a matter for scholars of inscriptions, not Wikipedia editors. Our role is to report faithfully what the scholars wrote. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:01, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
