One part (four plates) of the copper plates is kept at the Devalokam Aramana of the [[Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church]] while the other (two small plates) is at Poolatheen Aramana (Thiruvalla) of [[Malankara Marthoma Syrian Church]]. The copper plate also mentions about the [[Jew]]s and [[Muslim]]s of Kerala in the [[Arabic]] (Kufic script), [[Middle Persian]] (cursive Pahlavi script) and [[Judeo-Persian]] (standard square Hebrew script) parts.{{sfn|Cereti|2009|pp=31– 50}}
