After that he died fighting the enemy. Translation: "1579. Fortune favours the brave soldier Benardo De Opuo, from Villa Mirados soldier in Gozo". This slab was placed to the facade of the house of Bernardo de Opuo, inside the Citadel of Victoria (Rabat). Gozo Museum of Archaeology. Cittadela of Victoria in Gozo. Malta.
