If you look at the breech (rear half) of the cannon, notice the long slots molded into the breech. You can see those slots in the closeup photos of the inscription. The inscription is on the underside of the breech, about midway between the dolphins and the rear end of the breech. The inscription photos are arranged in order from left end of inscription to right, and obviously the photos overlap. If you look closely, you can see that some of the diacritical points did not catch any of the white ink, so please mentally color those white.
