Text of Siloam Inscription in English (read by Shani Atias in Hebrew):

“… the tunnel … and this is the story of the tunnel while …
the axes were against each other and while three cubits were left to (cut?) … the voice of a man …
called to his counterpart, (for) there was ZADA in the rock, on the right … and on the day of the
tunnel (being finished) the stonecutters struck each man towards his counterpart, ax against ax and flowed
water from the source to the pool for 1,200 cubits. and (100?)
cubits was the height over the head of the stonecutters”
