Jamestown Slate Update

Well it looks like curators at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C., have started to decipher the text etched into this slate. The tablet has on one side inscribed: “A Minon of the Finest Sorte“ and a more cryptic message: “EL NEV FSH HTLBMS 508,” among drawings of people and single letters. The article does not mention anything about those cryptic phrases, so my guess is that they are still scratching their heads.
