## Summary

This record is in two languages. The first is in Greek. The lower half
is in Latin.

It records that John Constantine, a native of Greece but born in
Transylvania, was full of noble qualities, and wornout with works,
departed in the Lord on the 17th, May, aged 52. He was made a perfect
and functioned in the capacity for a long time. His brother George
Constantine, a Christian, put up this monument of his gratitude and
grief, in the year of our Lord 1727.
