150 days Vocem meam audit qui me tangit: Whoever touches me hears my voice.
Explanation: Original Latin inscription: Vocem meam audit qui me tangit.
It means: Whoever touches me hears my voice.
This is an inscription commonly found in bells (!). Sometimes a few words are abbreviated, as in your case. And often over time parts of the inscription are worn away.
