Lew,
You broke an important rule!! :D :D
For a translation you have to show the entire piece as well. Otherwise Dom will forget his tongue :p and we all wish to enjoy a good piece.......

It's a name, the first is Mohamed abda "something" I can't make it out, maybe abdasab or abdarab abdaran. Also, numbers 1316=1898. Maybe something in the upper left too but I cannot tell.

LOL ... ;)
let's go for the translation, or what we are able to read without knowing, or understanding the exact signification :shrug:
on top .. at left
223 ???
under (middle line)
ABDENNE MOHAMED eitherABDENNE MOHAMED (Abdenne could be (?) a name)
last line, as well as Michael gave the signification, a date
- 1316 either 1898
:( I feel that I bring more questions that I answer to questions ... :o

That's a most beautiful dagger of this kind I've ever seen!
Dreaming to obtain a similar one somewhere.
