Original text and translations

Latin text O Iesu, fili David, miserere mei: Filia mea male a daemonio vexatur. Nam et catelli edunt de micis, quae cadunt De mensa dominorum suorum. O mulier, magna est fides tua.

English translation O Jesus, son of David, have pity on me: my daughter is sorely afflicted by a demon. For even whelps eat the crumbs which fall From their master’s table. O woman, thy faith is great.
