(1-5) Here are settled the bones of the holy Mōr Gabriēl of Qart(min), Mōr Yūhanōn of Dailam, and Mōr Qawmē. These bones were found in the year 1940 of our Lord in the church of Mārt(y) Mary (6-9) the Virgin outside the city of Mosul. We have placed them here so that the faithful may be blessed. May their prayers be with us. The year 1944 of our Lord.
