Latin text 1  Dum transisset Sabbatum, Maria Magdalene et Maria Jacobi et Salome emerunt aromata ut enientes ungerent Jesum. 2  Et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum orto iam sole. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

English translation 1  And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2  And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
