Latin inscription

[edit]

The article currently states that the inscription on the lead casket reads "HIC-REQESCT-RELIQE-SCE-WITE", whereas I have a source (Dorset Villages by Roland Gant) that states it reads "Hic Reqiesct Reliqie Sce Wite", which is very slightly different. Any comments? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 20:55, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It varied in each of the sources:
  • "Hic Reqesct Reliqe Sce Wite" (Bickley p.98)
  • "Hic Requiesct Reliqu Sce Wite" (Crook p.244)
  • "Hic Reqesct Reliqe Sce Wite" (Pentin p.60)
  • "Hic Requesct Rliqe Sce Wite" (Treves p.281)
So I found this flickr image which shows what is presumably the original or a copy of the inscription on top of the shrine and used the spelling given on that. Barret (talk) 21:26, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That seems the sensible course to take, although discerning the second word in that Flickr image involves a bit of screen-staring! I guess that the image shows a copy, rather than the original - it doesn't look like lead (not that the original has to be, but I had read my source as meaning that the lead itself was inscribed), also security-wise it would seem a bit careless to leave the original unprotected like that, even in a quiet corner of west Dorset.
