A brief inscription in Old East Slavic/Old Ruthenian
Hey there, this question is directed to Slavic language lovers (if I'm lucky someone will have knowledge of Old Ruthenian itself!). This is a brief inscription from two seals dated from the reign of Prince Vsevolod Yaroslavich of Kiev; these seals name his Byzantine Greek wife, the mother of his heir, Vladimir Monomakh.

Soloviev, 'Marie fille de Constantin IX Monomarque', Byzantion, 33, 1963 [reprinted in Byzance et la formation de l'Etat Russe, London, 1970, no. 6]). Unfortunately, I have not been able to see this article for myself, only seeing the inscription cited in various books.
From what I can tell, this inscription names her as Maria. Other than that, I have been unable to decipher this inscription and I can't seem to locate the original (French language) article to see what it translates it as.
