“Ad fines hujusce convallis, prope Bellum Crescens pagum extabat superioribus annis antiquum Romanorum ædificium, in quo lapis charactere romano sic scriptus erat :

Et territorium huic ædificio adjacens adhuc incolæ Artaium vocant et in sacellum suæ domus proximæ Antonius Albus, homo praticius, patruelis noster, hunc lapidem sublato ædificio transtulit.”
= “At the end of this valley, near the village of Beaucroissant, there was, until some years ago, a Roman building, on one of the stones of which, the following inscription in Roman letters could be read:

The land beside this building is this called “Artai” by the local people. When the building was destroyed, Antonius Albus, a nobleman and a cousin of ours, had this stone transported to the chapel of his residence, situated nearby.”
