English Translation

(1-5) In You, Yah, and for You: This church, its altar and apse were entirely plastered and completed during the time of the Pope Pius the Ninth, and the leadership of our Abbot ‛Ammānū’ēl, Superior General (6-10) of the monastery, the year 1846 of Christ. Then this church was paved anew and the gate of its altar was duly embellished during the days of the mentioned ones above and during the time of the watchful shepherd and admirable leader Mār Yawsep Audō, honourable Patriarch of the Chaldean congregation. This event took place (11) in the year 1849 of the advent of the Saviour of the world, Christ.
