I would have to agree that it isn't essential to know what it
is or God surely would have had it written in the Book.
BUT, if I were guessing :) then I would have to say that it
was probably a listing of sins that had been committed and as
each man looked at it he would know exactly which ones he had
committed. It is like in a church service nowadays and God
prompts the man of God preaching the word to mention certain
circumstances or sins. Then these glow in the mind of the
sinner who has committed them. Otherwise, any of those men
could have claimed to have no sin, because of the fact that
they didn't believe in the true power of the messiah.
