This is a very heavily restored panel. Only the bottom pieces of Goditha’s dress and cloak and her white shoe are original. The rest of Goditha and all of her servant are made up of Victorian replacement pieces. Most of the city gate, too, has been restored. Enough of the panel remains, though, to be confident it pictured a recovered Goditha and her servant going home after her healing.


The inscription reads, Venerat inflata pe[re]gre redit atenuata: “She came on pilgrimage puffed up, she returns made slim.” In 2021, it was discovered that the pieces of the inscription had been mixed up, most likely when Austin Jr. restored the panel in 1857. In 2022, the inscription was removed and the pieces rearranged into the correct order. Two letters and new backplating were added.
