Reference
:
Repeated by Michel Joly, the abbot of Bour proposed that this inscription read, frater Benedictus Christo devotus, and Robert Saint-Jean suggested that it read frater Beotidus. Either one of these interpretations of the carved inscription is possible. It appears to be a name inscribed on the impost, but both transcriptions are hypothetics. Marie-Thérèse Morlet suggests the following possibilities, Hariboldus, Hairiboldus, Hairboldus which are close to what is carved on this capital.
