Translation
Here lies buried the Saint virgin Inés, who for more than 47 years was the first abbess, who, both at her death and after it, shone gloriously through her miracles, as she also sparkled with saintliness of life and great fame whilst she lived. She died in the year of our Lord 1281, Wednesday 17th September.
