-------------------
Provenance of early inscriptions in Latin dating 1749 and 1751:
"Igo Sardinandus S. Ros vivo sum dominus huius Liler voulio Cornilii Napotis. Foli es decimo secundo kalendas aprilis, 1749" (?), which roughly translates to 'I, Sardinandus S. Ros, am alive, the lord of this Liler. I wish for the works of Cornelius Nepos. It was made on the twelfth day before the Kalends of April, 1749'.
"Qui, a me centum risei in anno domini 1749 pose pho volla cerra salutis." (?), which roughly translates to 'who, from me, one hundred laughs in the year of our Lord 1749, I place to behold the salvation'.
"Imprimis crat pratronus Fardi, mosa sada barca ramo. Sum Pasqual Santa Barbara. Su Dominus hius, corn edjjo, scribo uen di sex giuu gnimm, Lunedi &c. 1751" (?), which roughly translates to 'Firstly, he was the patron of Fardi, we are descendants of the blessed boat branch. I am Pasqual Santa Barbara. He, the Lord of this, with a command, I write on the day of the sixth of June, Monday, etc. 1751'.
"I. P. S. B. S. P. D. &c. 1751".
