Translation Where the wreathed cross is, [there] lies the lid of the mouth of the tomb, which
has rings. Whoever wishes (to bury) shall lift the wreathed cross, and he will
find the lid and bury. And if the Lady Mary, who founded this church, should
desire in future to lay down (a dead) in this tomb, (she) or anyone of her
family at any time, I Elias, by the mercy of God a recluse, in the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, curse and anathemize whoever after me
hinders her or any of hers, or removes this inscription of mine. |
