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.
