327: This Serif established our church in the name of Aghia Eleni Mikhail Arkhangelos. The third restoration of our churh was realized by order of our majesty Sultan Mahmut and finished under the supervision of Epitropos goldsmith XA (Hacı) Elia, and by the intercession of Mikhael Arkhangelos. May God reward those who seek his help and take paints.
