Unfortunately I can't copy the pictures for you (I've described the
contents between <>).

So, the stone is presently in the Fortifications Museum in
Ruesselsheim am Main. I was placed there by one Frederick of Nassau,
so a distant ancester of the Dutch royal family. It marked the
boundary between the arch-stift (can't think of an English
translation for that) of Mainz and the seignory of Ruesselsheim.
