Nullum Numen abest si sit Prudentia; sed nos
Te facimus Fortuna Deam. *

Memoriam sui ut commendaret, scr[ipsit]
P. Carmichel.

 

* These two verses figure twice in the Saturae of Juvenal, in 10.365-6 and 14.315-6: “Nullum numen habes, si sit prudentia: nos te, / nos facimus, Fortuna, Deam”.

I wrote this recommending myself into the good memory [of the owner of the album]
P. Carmichel.
