Handy Weapon

The thin strip of gold that was found in the hoard has some text written on it, “[S]urge d[omi]ne disepentur inimici tui et [f]ugent qui oderunt te a facie tua—Rise up, Lord, may your enemies be dispersed and those who hate you flee from your face.” The researcher suggests that this piece of text is from the Latin Vulgate chapter of Numbers 10:35 and Psalm 68:1.
