The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'inscription se compose, en plus de l'année 1431, de la mention suivante : "font del hostal de Sant Johan". Comme cette plaque figure sur une croix fichée, du type croix de Malte, il s'agit sans aucun doute d'une fondation des hospitaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. La fondation à Perpignan d'un hôpital de cet ordre est déjà mentionnée dans deux textes du 12e siècle.

The inscription consists, in addition to the year 1431, of the following mention: "font del hostal de Sant Johan". As this plaque appears on a fixed cross, of the type of Maltese cross, it is without doubt a foundation of the Hospitallers of Saint-Jean de Jérusalem. The foundation in Perpignan of a hospital of this order is already mentioned in two texts of the 12th century.
