Verso bears secondary inscriptions on each half, written in the opposite direction of the recto.

Left half of verso is a panegyric poem in Hebrew, in Wafir meter, monorhymed ים-. Probably in honor of a donor, as is inferred by the line לך השר וראש כל הנדיבים.

Right half of verso is another poem of the same type, in praise of the Rosh Yeshivah: הלא הוא בחיר ראשי ישיבות. Long and irregular verses, monorhymed בא-. There are many corrections, indicating that this is a draft copy. In both poems verse endings denoted by a sof pasuḳ.

There are a number of writing exercises in the margins. One of them is possibly a date אלף תרנ״ז (i.e., 1346).
