Σωτήρ φανείς, Στέφανε, άλγεινών πόνων

λαιοΰ γόνατος хαί ποδός οίκτράς φίλης,

θετον ναόν δωροΰρμαι κλεινήι τήι πόλει

τοΰ Θεοδώρου, хράντορος παλαιрάτου,

δωρουμένη ληφθέντα δώρον σόν πόδα

αύτωι μένειν, σύσσημον άλήστου μνείας

 

You Stefan who, probably, has saved yourself from hard, unbearable pains from which I suffered, me, your friend in the left knee and leg, this holy church I am building, in the glorious city of Theodor, the prominent warrior. And your leg, that I have received a present I donate it in this church, in order to exist there whole, for an eternal memory.

St. Stefan, you have certainly saved my friend from the unbearable pains in my left knee and leg. I am building this holy church in the glorious city of the prominent warrior Theodore. And I donate to this church my leg, which was given to me as an eternal memory, so that it will always be there.
