Apparatus criticus

  • Text compared against photograph;
  • line.1: Gabrici: CANO(leius); Vento: CANER...; CAN is followed by traces of a curved stroke (C or O?) and what might be R, and space for perhaps one more letter? Note that it is theoretically possible that there was at least one letter before the initial M.
  • line.2: The line appears to be complete, but there may be traces after the final S
