South porth, right portal, right side --"Bay of the Confessors"

Figures L - R
• St. Gregory (pope dress)
• St. Jerome (translated Bible into Latin, the "Vulgate"). Beneath him is a woman with bandaged eyes (the 'blind' synagogue replaced by the Church)
• St. Martin (bishop of Tours). Two dogs lick his bishop's staff, since he reportedly prevented them from eating a hare by miraculous means. Martin gets further attention in the tympanum above the door.
• St. Avitus, abbot of Micy [added at porch construction].
