Commentary

Latyshev used the notes of Loeper for his publication.

On the formula, see Introduction IV.3.F.e

Judging by the script and the fact that the inscriptions on the walls of the Holy Trinity church at Laki date between 1302 (V 142) and 1421 C.E. (V 140), and our inscription is found directly under the former, there is a good reason to date it to the late XIVth-early XVth centuries.
