Here is another image of the underneath of the seal, mirror image for reading, may be more readable than the print.

潟葦海止波欄　-　Saline land reeds are fences to stop the waves of sea

Seems to be a leisure seal.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Many thanks

After longer time of consideration, I think I have to revise my reading above.

渇筆海之波瀾　-　Brush is thirsty for the billows of sea.

① 渇　and 潟　are very close in forms
② Second character is definitely 筆　with 竹冠　"bamboo" radical at top, and not 艹　"grass" radical for 葦.From the beginning I forcibly　adjusted it to 葦 for the context that I read mistakenly.
③　之　and 止　in seal script are the same
④　Hereupon, the last character must be 瀾　→波瀾 billows
　　
Sorry for the accidental inconveniences.

With regards,
I.Nagy

I thank very much for having a second look on this seal.
I agree with your new interpretation with a "bi" as the second character, and for the change for"zhi".
The most difficult is the first character. I send your a detailed image for the seal carving (mirrored for reading).
Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for the magnified picture.
Now everything is clear.
The first character is：　瀉　xiė　flow swiflty,
hasten, flowing etc.

瀉筆海之波瀾　- Hasten brushes like billowing waves of the sea

I have found the source too.
全唐文　第二部　巻一百五十一
Complete Tang Texts Part No.2, Book 151
Caption title,
掖庭山賦應詔　The Lateral Court's answer to an Imperial Decree
....發詞林之華藻、瀉筆海之波瀾、命小臣而并作,　賦大雅而承歓
... and Lin said elegantly "Hasten your brushes like billowing waves of the sea" ordering his ministers to work together in narrating elegently to please him ( In my rough trnaslation)

It was not an easy delivery.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Many thanks for your help
