Slavonic?
This is pre-communist Russian alphabet. The modern rendering is this: ??? ?????????? ? ?????? ????????? ??????? ???????????? 11 ?????? 1906 ?. ?????????????? ?. ?. ?????????? ?????????? ?????????? ????????????? ??????????? ???????? ? ?. ?????? ?? ?????? ?????? ?? ?????????? ?????? ????????? ???????? ?.?.
The English translation should be (more or less):
“This picture is in memory of the Annunciation Monastery [poseschepiya?] April 11, 1906 my dear Mister/Lord N.V. Kochman, Russian Imperial Consul-General in Thessaloniki, in fond memory of Rector Staretz/Geronda SCHEMAMONK PARTHENIOS H.G.”
“?????????” – is translated as a visit
Translation with original order of words:
“This picture is in memory of the visit to Annunciation Monastery on April 11, 1906 by high-respected Mister N.V. Kokhman, Russian Imperial Consul-General in Thessaloniki, in fond memory of Superior Staretz/Geronda SCHEMAMONK PARTHENIOS H.G.”
