Description: 2nd column of rond-point, north side, facing south, west and east
The west angle of the corbeille shows Christ Triumphant leaning on a cross on a long pole (processional cross?). He is surrounded by Elie and Moses, each holding a banderole bearing the words of St. Peter. Inscription dates to second half of the 12th century.
Reference: The Transfiguration is reported in three of the Gospels: Matt. 17, 1-9;; Mark 9, 1-8; Luke 28, 36. The text carved on this capital is closes to that in Matthew: Domine, bonum est not hic esse: si vis, faciamus his tria tabernacula, tibi unum, Moysi unum et Eliae unum. The quotation carved on this capital is truncated after tabernacula where tibi unum... would follow
The identification of a person named Ranulfo remains uncertain. B. Craplet proposed that it was a donor, who through his generosity, hoped to escape a demon, depicted by the personage in the casket, similar to Notre-Dame-du-Port and followed by an angel to save him.

Description: 2nd column of rond-point, south side, facing south, west and east
Christ (near the east) holding the nails of his cross addresses the elect represented on the south face. A glorious cross escorted by angels is in the sky.
Reference: The words carved on the book held by the elect and the banderoles presented by the angels are passages from Matthew 25, 34 and relate to the Last Judgment. Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris ejus erunt: Venite, benedicti Patris mei, possidete paratum vobis regnum a constitutione mundi. Mat. 25, 41: Tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt: Discedite a me, maledicti, in ignem aeternum.
The sentence inscribed on the book held by John is not a biblical quotation.
