Inscription: Recto: upper left on the architrave of the arch, black ink: ADM; lower right, black ink: 36 TvT; lower margin, black ink: Ulysse est traitté en gueux par ceux qui mangeoient son bien, et qui recherchoient sa femme / Penelope; d’où il faut inferer necessairement, que le mespris qu’on faict d’un homme heroïque, / ne luy oste jamais les bonnes qualites que la naissance luy a donnés. [Ulysses is treated as a beggar by those who consume his wealth and who court his wife Penelope. From which one can necessarily infer that the scorn with which one treats a heroic man does not take away the fine qualities his birth has given him.]
