Inscription: Recto: lower centre, black ink: "Thesbiten, viduamq's vides cum prole parentem, // Inq's Palaestino thaumata nata solo. // Scilicet aetherea fultus virtute Prophetes // Auxit inexhaustis far oleumq'e cadis. // Id meruit pietas; nam faemina pauper Eliae, // Quo poterat, modico pane ferebat opem. // Munere non patitur vinci Deus; ubere pensat // Foenore, dum renuit debitor esse diu. // Ita vovet // GEORGIUS SIMON // IACOBUS ROSSL // J.U.D. // ANNO MDCCXXXIII // de Prenner. del: et Incid: // Prodigium vetus est; sed enim, quod proestitit olim, // Numinis hoc hodie dextera larga potest. // Abbreviata Dei non est manus. Attamen audi: // Nunc hominum nimis est abbreviata fides. // Pinxerat hoc PRETUS, Genuae decor, inq'e futuras // AETates PRETI laus genuina viret. // Deficiet nunquam Pictorum gloria, sicut // Defecit o far oleumq's die."; lower centre edge, graphite: "40".
