And they brought a record with them, even a record of the people whose bones they had found; and it was engraven on plates of ore.
And for a testimony that the things that they had said are true they have brought twenty–four plates which are filled with engravings, and they are of pure gold. And behold, also, they have brought breastplates, which are large, and they are of brass and of copper, and are perfectly sound. And again, they have brought swords, the hilts thereof have perished, and the blades thereof were cankered with rust; and there is no one in the land that is able to interpret the language or the engravings that are on the plates.
