Inscription: Recto: lower centre, black ink: "Oraclum Phoebi jactant ad sidera Delphi, // Lui'que sacer toto claruit orbe Triphus. // Si saperent, plausu canerent potiore Sybillam, // Proe qua nil laudis magnus Apollo meret. // Nam, quod ait Phoebus, mera sunt deliria somni, // Et nugae steriles, praetereaq's nihil. // Ast Tripodas proeit, et mentem divinitus icta // Personat, et caeli voce Sybilla canit. // Ita canit. // FRANCISCUS RIEGER // U.J. Doctor. Auloe, et // Iudiciorum Advocatus // Viennensis. // Anno MDCCXXXiii. // v. Prenner. del et Ineid. // Illa quidem veri cultu viduata Tonantis .. Gentiles coluit, sxea signa, deos. // Nil tamen hoc obstat. Luem non agnovit, eundem . Praenovit lingua vaticinante Deum. // Dia Fides adeo tenebris radiabat in ipsis! // Ethnicus hanc nequijt dissimulare furor. // PALMA quod in tabula pinxit, fert oeredecorem// Amplius; hinc PALMAE palma pereiiis erit."; lower centre edge, graphite: "9".
