Another side reads 'gratia deum mecum' - by the grace of God with me.
Another side I can't make out properly but seems to be 'est reposita justitiae corona' - a crown of righteousness is stored up - which seems to be a paraphrase of 'reposita est mihi corona justiti�' -a crown of righteousness is stored up for me
Apparently there are a couple of books/ pamphlets on the sundial by someone called Philip Pattenden
