In the year 1869 of Christ this church was built through the care of the honourable community of the blessed village Bart)ellī. They all rose up diligently, and the whole people altogether sought counsel collectively among themselves, building it together. The Jacobite congregation, believer in the Trinity, with no

scruple and no division, (A1) built this church. (A2) They brought good stones on wheels and mules, with shouts of joy and hymns, moving them to this church. These large stones were brought

hewn!, pulling them with cables and nets by the shoulders. With the help of Yahweh Adonai, they brought them to (the church of) Mārt(y) Šmūnī. May God spare them grief and all sufferings. This happened during the tenure of our esteemed and blessed Father Patriarch Īġnāt)iōs Ya‛qūbiōs the Second,

who is from Hesnō d-Attō, near the monastery of Saffron, the see of Mōr Peter the Apostle, in the region of Upper Mardīn, and (the time of) our reverend Father Qūrillōs Denh∗ō the Bishop, who occupies the see of (the Monastery of) Mār Mattā on the mountain of Alfōf in the East. This door is full of mercy
B2
inside of which there is mercy. Go in sinner and ask for mercy from your Lord full of mercy. (Metre of [St.] Jacob) A thousand thousand and a myriad myriad times glory to you
B3
Lord for you assisted your servants to build this church. Through you we began to compose this text in the year 1869 of our Lord and 2180 of the Greeks. I beg you, O readers of this discourse: Ask the Lord who renewed in us the speech and the mind to pour forth his mercy upon every one who toiled in this building, so that he may be spared the torment that is in hell. It is completed; pray for me.

(A1-2) In the year 1922 of Yah, this temple was sawed through the care of the Orthodox people of Bart)ellī. Come O you who are tired from carrying heavy loads! Lo, this is a refuge! Behold the salvation in the eating of the Flesh and the drinking of the Blood!
(B1-2) This is the glorious and lofty temple of the Holy of Holies: In it the mysteries of the Son—(his) Body and Blood—are served. Come, sinners, and taste the life, for lo, they take shape through mortal hands, but you will be saved from all pains!
