It reads: Fatum et mortis finiet, trium DIERUM somno suscepto tunc amortuis regressus inlucem veniet primum Resurrectionis initium ostendens ("He will complete the fate of death after a sleep of three days. Then, returning from the dead, will come to light showing for the first time the beginning of the Resurrection "): an obvious allusion to the Resurrection.
