At the end of the poem, in smaller writing, there appear two inscriptions, next to each other, both sharing two lines. The first, in semi-square, reads:ר׳ נת[נאל] ור׳ שמחה / ומ׳ יצחק ז״ל. The second, in semi-cursive, reads: מן בעץׄ מא קאל ישועה בן דנש בן משה אב בית דין פי אלאכ׳וא / אל [.... .ל.....]מא ואדאם חראסתהמא. Halper interprets אלאכ׳וא as [אלאכוא[ן.
