Additional inscriptions on the parchment - from Wikipedia
It is very customary to write two inscriptions on the back of the parchment:
the Hebrew word
שדי
(Shaddai)
the phrase "
כוזו במוכסז כוזו
"
Shaddai, ["Almighty"] one of the biblical names of God, also serves here as an acronym for Shomer Daltot Yisrael, "Guardian of Israel's doors". Many mezuzah cases are also marked with the Hebrew letter
ש
(Shin), for Shaddai.
"
כוזו במוכסז כוזו
" is a Caesar cipher — a one letter shift — of the third, fourth, and fifth words of the Shema, "Adonai, Eloheinu, Adonai", "The Lord, our God, the Lord"; it is written on the back of the case, opposite the corresponding words on the front. This inscription dates from the 11th century and is found among the Hasidei Ashkenaz (medieval German Jewish mystics).
According to the Sephardic custom (minhag), the phrase "
כוזו במוכסז כוזו
" is prohibited, and only the Hebrew word
שדי
(Shaddai) is to be written on the back of the mezuzah. This practice is supported by the Shulchan Aruch and the writings of the Rambam. The Ashkenazi custom of writing both phrases, however, was supported in the writings of the Remo. Template: Yoreh De'ah 288:15
