dedication text (summary) dedication text (verbatim)

A silver arm {reliquary} of St Fergus covered without (hostiolo?) with some stones, weighing eighteen and a half ounces. It is believed by the devotion of the people that it was given by the rector of Skene or Dyce. A small silver-gilt monstrance of which the top part is covered with a crystal with some relics of saints in it, as is piously believed, weighing (with the crystal and relics) eight and a half ounces with eight stones on the circumference. Two silver crowns for above the heads of the images of the Holy Virgin and her son with some glass stones as it appears, weighing twenty ounces.
