This is the inscription at the Bonehouse and the inscription is simply listing the translations of "bonehouse" in diff. languages There is also D: Beinhaus Die Schrift verwirrt etwas, man muss sich erst dran gewöhnen !

My Greek's not up to it, but it's the dedication of the church - the Saint(holy) Heromartyrs (I think) and saying which Archimandrite opened/dedicated the church. I find it difficult to read the Greek as it's all in capitals and also uses the "old" letters! Help - we need one of the Greek VTers!

Hi, This is a plate put on the inauguration of the church and it says: This Holy Temple of the Sacred Illustrius New Witness (Martyr) KYPRIANOS the Thaumaturge (Miracle Maker), was inaugurated on 3rd of November 1985 by the Honorable Metropolite of Rethymno & Avlopotamos & Titou (Areas of Crete) (Acting as) Archimandrite ANTHIMOS and Abbot CYRIANOS. It has been written on Capitals following the Byzantine Lettering, as is the tradition in the Greek Orthodox Church. Hope to help you. Don't hesitate to ask me anything you need. Dimitris

I have a complete book of them called 'Pocketbook of Mathematics', it is a reeeaaaalllly confusing one... ;) So if you don't mind, dimilag, will take your text as it is on my page and refer to your help. Happy travelling! Christian.

This Holy Church of the glorious saint holy martyr Cyprianus, the wonder-maker, was inaugurated on November 3, 1985, by His eminence Metropolitan Titos of Rethymnon and Avlopotamos, the parish priest being archimandrite Anthimos and the abbot being Cyprianus. This means that this church belongs to a monastery, and the abbot of the monastery was named (also) Cyprianus (in Greek it is spelled “Kiprianos”). Stefanos

Don't be disapointed, Elenitsa. This is not the current everyday Greek language, but it can be compared to the language of King James english version of the Bible. Sometimes even Greeks can not understand exactly the meaning of such texts, mainly because of the complexity of the sentences. Also, the alphabet used here is a (simplified) version of the Byzantine writing, and sometimes two or more letters are joined together forming strange complexes.
