Inscriptions are lost but we easily identify the two healing saints, Cosmas and Damian by their attributes, boxes of healing ointment. The upper left figure, with his omophorion (stole with crosses) is a bishop, and on the right is a monk, probably a church father, displaying a text quoted rom his own writing. It is not clear enough to read, but the use of Slavonic rather than Greek is interesting and partly narrows done the location, though the field is still wide. Old Slavonic was used throughout Russia, but the form and style of the panel are not Russian. Sporadic use of Old Slavonic is found in Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine and the Ohrid Archbishopric of Macedonia in the post-Byzantine period.
