ait mihi ipse pastor: omnia a me interrogasti? et dixi: ita, domine. quare ergo non interrogasti me de forma lapidum in structura repositorum, quod explevimus formas? et dixi: oblitus sum, domine.

English · Claude translation

The shepherd himself said to me, “Have you asked me everything?” And I said, “Yes, sir.” “Why, then, did you not ask me about the marks of the stones put in the building, where we filled in the marks?” And I said, “I forgot, sir.”
