You are quite right, I should have written
[Dedicated] to Theoretus on the occasion of shedding blood for the Lord
(Christ).
BTW, I haven't been able to find the inscription. What is the link with the
photo?

Yancy,
QEORRYTW aIMATI KENWTHENTI DESPOTH (XRIS???)
How are you parsing KENWTHENTI ? Your translation (who spilled blood) looks
like an Active voice.

Looks like a dedication:
[Dedicated] to Theoretus who spilled [literally "emptied out] blook for
[the] Lord [Christ]

with a sloping line running from the vertical stroke across to the smaller
leg at the bottom of the letter. Another way to describe it would be a
reverse lower case 'k' in cursive writing.
