(1-5) This church of Mōr Gēwōrgīs was rebuilt and renovated in the Christian year 1850, during the days of our Father Mōr Ġrīġōriōs ‛Īsā the Metropolitan. Through his care, its rebuilding was completed. Also (6-9) with his own hands, he laid among the bones of the Saint the bones of other Saints, depositing them in a reliquary of hewn rock that has been placed in this sanctuary.
