Inscription: Recto: lower right, black ink, ‘AvD’ in monogram: .8..TvT. AvD; lower margin, black ink: De ce festin tumultueux et funeste, oú Agamemnon est tué par Egiste, et cassandre par clytemnestre, il s’en peút tirer cette consequence; / qu’il est difficile de prevenir les embusches des Ames perfides; et que les ennemis découverts sont bien / moins à craindre que les faux Amis, qui respandent nostre sang parmy le vin qu’ils boivent à nous [From this tumultuous and disastrous banquet, when Agamemnon was killed by Aegisthus and Cassandra by Clytemnestra, one can draw this consequence; that it is difficult to foresee the ambush of perfidious spirits, and that known enemies are much less to be feared than false friends, who spill our blood with the wine they drink to us.]
