Summary: The filled marks are the sins of the repentant, blotted out.

Latin text · Lake, LCL 25:296

audi nunc, inquit, de illis. hi sunt qui nunc mandata mea audierunt et ex totis praecordiis egerunt paenitentiam. cumque vidisset dominus bonam atque puram esse paenitentiam eorum et posse eos in ea permanere, iussit priora peccata eorum deleri. hae enim formae peccata erant eorum, et exaequata sunt, ne apparerent.

English · Claude translation

“Hear now,” he said, “about them. These are those who have now heard my commandments and repented with their whole heart. And when the Lord saw that their repentance was good and pure and that they could remain in it, he ordered their former sins to be blotted out. For these marks were their sins, and they were smoothed over, so that they would not appear.”
