inscriptions
[Translation] the inscription ABOVE the image has been partially cut off
but the remainder reads: ...came to the Hebrews on account of the marvels that they had heard speak of
if they offered bread and wine to them; [Transliteration] ...vindrent as hebrus p[our] le marvailes q[ue] aveint oi dire si lur offrirent pain e vin. [Translation] the inscription BELOW the image reads: Then the Gibeonites were invaded by several kings of the mountains. They were rescued by Joshua
because God killed them with hail from the sky; [Transliteration] p[uis] furent le gaboenite envai de plusu[r]s reis de[s] mutaine[s] p[ar] iosue sunt delivre
q[ua]r deu les tua par gresile du cel.
