« Templum B. Mariæ, Romanorum tempore inserviit tribunali, & fuit locus quo justitia exercebatur ; unde in exteriori parte, ubi murus ad tectum elevatus ascendit, grandior conspicitur, ibique lapidea pila cum his verbis : C’est le pomeau du sceptre de Pilate, quasi Pilatus hujusmodi sceptro cum tali pila usus fuisset. »
= The church of Sainte-Marie was, in Roman times, a law court and it was here that justice was administered. This is why, on the outside of the building, close to where the wall meets the roof, which appears very high, there is a stone ball, engraved with the following words: ‘C’est le (sic) pomme du sceptre du (sic) Pilate‘, which suggests that Pilate had a sceptre with a knob of this kind.
