This inscription headed Chek Chue Yuen Tin Seung Dai Temple, appears in the 3 volume, 892 page, Chinese language text compiled by David Faure, Bernard H.K. Luk, & Alice Ngai-ha Lun Ng (eds), titled Historical Inscriptions of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 1986. The 1803 text, inscribed on an artifact, commemorates the Yuen Tin Seung Dai temple in Chek Chue.
This rough summary of the text was composed with the technical assistance of religious studies scholar, Dr Zoe Alderton; but a full, detailed, translation by a willing Gwulo colleague would be most welcome.

Re: Inscriptions on artifact
Hi there,
The text would seem to be about the sponsor and dedication by a certain Cheung family of a 雲版/雲板. I will upload a photo I took at Tap Mun of such an item with similar dedication later.

RE: 雲版
Thank you “tngan” for your very revealing image with its accompanying text. I was wondering what sort of an artifact a 雲版 (cloud board) might possibly be – and now your helpful input has certainly cleared that puzzle up for me.
