Along the Neckar River upstream (east-north) of Heidelberg, Germany,
there is a monument inside the Neckarsteinach Evangelical church (which is
directly across from the Catholic church); it has an open foyer and view thru
glass of the church. There is a plaque on the wall which (best as can be read)
says ...

   See original image
   See a fairly good transcription.

The date of AD 84 is NOT the year 0084-A.D.
Rather it indicates the year nn84 in the century in which it was done;
  since "everyone" knew the correct "nn", specifying it was considered redundant.

Corrections to either the transCRIPTION or the transLATION would be appreciated,
along with any other pertinent thoughts or notations.
