Inscription: BACCHI SCENA ET CHORVS / 8. Bacchus dextera manu hast[a]e, seu thyrso, sinistra succollanti Fauno nititur, ad cuius pedes Tigris adstat uini cupida. / 9. Baccho Sues mactant, quorum alterum aheno calida abluunt, alterum ramo suspensum depilant. Sus enim / Cerceri sacer erat, cuius mysteria cum Dionysiacis, ac Metroacis admiscebantur. / 10. Orgiasta alter Terminum finium, et ruralem Deum, in Dionysiacis cultum serto, et floribus coronat. / 11/ Cista pomis referta, nam Baccho non solum Vitium, sed omnium fructuum culturam referebant. / 12. Alter ex choro utrem humero incumbentem premit, ac merum in subiectum craterem fundit. / 14. Postremus monaulon canit. //
