In this grave lies the Presbyter Badegiselus of good memory who lived happily in peace for 50 years.
 
(trans. J. Szafranowski)

Discussion:

By mistake, the picture of Badegiselus' epitaph is provided by Epigraphik Datenbank Clauss/Slaby in the record containing the inscription of the Presbyter Nonnus, see Epigraphik Datenbank Clauss/Slaby no. EDCS-11001679.
 
Boppert dated this inscription palaeographically to the seventh or, possibly, early eighth century.
