La llinda misteriosa / Criptic lintel

            IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

A Catalunya, especialment en pobles i masies del centre i nord del país, és molt usual trobar llindes inscrites amb el nom del amo de la casa, així com l'any en que fou feta; a vegades també hi ha alguna inscripció religiosa.

Però crec que mai m'havia trobat quelcom així. Al poble d'Alpens hi ha aquesta llinda completament criptica, com si fos codificada amb una clau secreta... Alguna idea??? Apart del tipic monograma de Crist ("IHS"), jo hi llegeixo: A P V E E C M A A D 
P O I C A O S N I S N E 
B I D A".

=================================

In Catalonia, specially in the center and north of the country is quite usual to find engraved lintels in old stone houses, mainly from the XVII-XVIII Centuries. They usually indicate the year it was built and the owner's name (religious inscriptions are also quite usual).

But I've never find this kind of criptic, probably coded, inscription. It's located in a window in an old house in Alpens, a village in central Catalonia.

It reads: "A P V E E C M A A D
P O I C A O S N I S N E
B I D A". There's the inscription IHS in the middle but that's very comon, it's the monogram of Christ.

Should I call Bletchley Park?
