Do me a favour and assume I'm not totally ignorant, ok? Close reading is everything. When I say the frieze around the top of the shul has the text of "An eye for an eye" that means it has the text which starts with An eye for an eye, of which "a tooth for a tooth" is part. It's as if I said "has the text of Lecha Dodi" and blew up "Boi b'shalom". That is about six more lines of explanation than you really deserve; do try to be a little more broad-minded next time.
