Is There a Message Written in Red in the Water at the End of the Movie?

I've watched this film many times on VHS and have just watched the 50th Anniversary DVD, which has more vivid color than my VHS and is widescreen as well. What a great movie! But on the DVD edition, I noticed something I never noticed on the VHS, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out what it is.

Near the very end of the movie (approximately (86:30), as they are sailing away from the island of Colossa (sp?), there is a shot of the shiny blue water, and for about 2 seconds, in the lower right hand section of the screen, you can see what looks like tiny red lettering on the surface of the water! My current DVD player can zoom in on any quadrant of the screen, but it only has 2.0 resolution at maximum, so even zooming in on the quadrant I can't read the letters.

There are also red letters in the sea -- perhaps identical letters -- in roughly the same position on the screen at about 41:30 into the film, as the ship is approaching Colossa.

Whatever the message is in the letters, it seems short. It's about the length of, say, "Copyright 1958 by Ray Harryhausen and Columbia Pictures."

The message might not be part of the original film. It might be some kind of marker used in the DVD production process (as publishers of books sometimes use in numbering the 32-page or 16-page sections of printed books). On the other hand, it would be amusing to think that the original filmmakers slipped in a message on the screen. (Though on a big movie screen the letters would have probably been readable, so they would have to be careful what they wrote. "Schneer is a Dork" would not have gone over well with the executives at Columbia.)

Does anyone out there have this 50th Anniversary DVD? If so, I'd appreciate it if anyone with adequate zoom capacity would try to zero in on the letters and read them, and let me know what they say.
