Translator's annotation

Despite the second character being well worn, the use of the first character "菖" in the Wiseman dictionary lent only a few uses. All of which were related to acorus and followed by the second character "蒲", pieces of which can be seen to match the writing above.
Translation Dr. Ger : (Ch'ang-p'u) - "Acorus" - SWEET FLAG
