That first link turns out not to have been stable -- it now leads back to an entire photoalbum rather than to the individual image. With any luck, this link will work better (though the URL is likely to break in transmission):

In the album <http://tinyurl.com/kcedrck> the image is at center in the fourteenth row from the bottom (the row that ends with a close-up of St. George of Lydda).
Below Agatha's name in the inscription is a single epsilon with a transverse line over it. This is a way of writing the Greek number 5 (in Greek: ε') and indicates the day of the month at that point in the calendar. In the album's second image in the following row (reading down, so the thirteenth row from bottom) the single gamma with a transverse line above it in the inscription for St. Symeon / Simeon the God-Receiver (Συμεών ο Θεοδόχος) indicates that the calendar is now at the third day of the month. Here's a closer view (if it works), with Symeon at left:

Best again,
