介绍（中）	这些精心制作的礼拜用品——圣杯、香炉、滤网和圣灵之鸽的代表——是叙利亚富裕的商人城镇阿塔鲁提的一座基督教教堂的财产，阿塔鲁提当时是拜占庭帝国最富有的土地之一。圣杯、香炉和滤网用于神圣仪式，即圣餐仪式，基督徒在仪式中饮用神圣的葡萄酒和面包，以纪念最后的晚餐和基督之死。根据他们用希腊语写的带有几种拼写变体的铭文，许多物品是当地公民向该镇的主要教堂（供奉圣斯蒂芬）和较小的教堂（可能是浸礼会圣约翰）供奉的。七世纪初，叙利亚首先落入萨珊波斯人之手，然后落入伊斯兰军队之手。这些作品可能是在拜占庭军队从对该地区的进攻中撤退的某个时刻匆忙地埋在一个保护容器中的。
介绍（英）	These well-wrought liturgical objects-chalices, censers, a strainer, and a representation of the dove of the Holy Spirit-were among the possessions of a Christian church in the affluent merchant town of Attarouthi in Syria, then one of the richest lands of the Byzantine empire. The chalices, censers, and strainer were used for the Divine Liturgy, or Eucharist service, in which Christians take consecrated wine and bread in commemoration of the Last Supper and Christ's death. According to their inscriptions, written in Greek with several spelling variants, many of the objects were offerings of local citizens to the major church of the town, which was dedicated to Saint Stephen, and to a smaller church dedicated to Saint John (probably Saint John the Baptist). In the early seventh century, Syria fell first to the Sasanian Persians and then to the armies of Islam. These works were probably buried in haste in a protective container at some moment when the Byzantine army was retreating from attacks on the region.
