Inscription: Recto: upper left corner, black ink: "ALT:50. LAT: 70 . UNC:"; lower centre edge, black ink: "Admovit fidibus plectrum formosus Apollo, // Chordaque divinum concinit icta melos. // Vidit, et invidiae stimulatus Marsia zelo, // Quid mea Musa potest, experiamur, ait. // Mox rudis impletur sylvestri fistula flatu, // Ingratusque cava stridet in aure sonus. // Accidit hoec hodie lis saepius; impare nisu // Insipiens pugnam cum sapiente movet. // Marsia pelle luit stolidum certamen, etomni // Corpore Semicaper decoriatus hiat. // Si par supplicium temere certantibus instet, // Quanta cohors hominum nunc sine pelle foret! // FRANCISCUS PANKL, // Poeta Laur. // v.Prenner, del: et Incidit."; lower centre edge, graphite: "31".
