This article is an interpretation of the inscription on one of the two precious gilded plaquettes, found on an archeological site of a Slavic settlement from before the Great Moravia period, located near the village of Bojná, Slovakia. The article is a reaction to P. Žigo’s interpretation of the inscription, which takes it as an abbreviation of the 1st verse of the 24th Psalm of David. Faced with another close reading accompanied by notes on historical grammar and paleography, such an interpretation becomes questionable. The text of the inscription does not have the same word order as the version of the psalm the Psalterium Sinaiticum manuscript. Moreover, Žigo fails to read correctly a preposition located here at the beginning of the 1st verse. Notes on historical grammar focus on the incorrect grammatical form used to convey a directional meaning. Two major paleographical problems of Žigo’s interpretation concern the characteristics of two reportedly Glagolitic graphemes. After taking these objective reservations into account, Žigo’s interpretation cannot be accepted.
