oben: »D. CLAVDIVS CAESAR«
unten: »V./Qui misera tristis nescit imperi mala,/Et quanta regno insit dolorum copia,/Angustiarum quantaque hinc vis effluat:/Me videat, ac dominatui dicat vale./Me sors tulit praecelsum ad hoc fastigiu//Existimantem poenam ad insontem rapi/Mortis metu trementem, et inde desijt/Discordiarum numquam, et insidiarum agens/Me factiosus tum pauor ciuilium:/Acseclus ad extremum abstulit venefici«
