Text column no. 7 (sheet no. 2): In the upper margin, a bust of a young man (one of the princes of Media and Persia listed in Es. 1:14?) is depicted. In the frame placed in the lower margin, on the left, only Haman with scales on which he is going to weigh silver for the king (Es. 3:9) is visible. In the background, the king's palace can be seen.

Text column no. 8 (sheet no. 2): In the upper margin, a bust of the queen is depicted. In the frame placed in the lower margin, five men sit at a table at the moment when Queen Esther is entering the chamber. Most likely, the scene depicts the first banquet given by Esther (Es. 5:5-8) but it is unclear why the queen does not sit at the table and who are the other participants of the feast (the Book of Esther mentions only the king and Haman). 

Text column no. 9 (sheet no. 3): In the upper margin, a bust of a man is depicted. In the frame placed in the lower margin, on the right, the king sits on the throne under a canopy, and before him, stands a man who is reading from an open book (Es. 6:1-3). On the left and in the background, the palace garden is depicted.

Text column no. 10 (sheet no. 3): In the upper margin, a bust of a young woman with a flower in the hand is depicted. In the frame placed in the lower margin, Mordecai in royal apparel riding on horseback, and is led by Haman (Es. 6:11). In the background, several buildings are visible.

In the octagons separating the frames are depicted (from right to left): 1) a harbor with a ship, 2) a landscape with a tree and a gate in the foreground, 3) a landscape with a house in the foreground, 4) a rider next to a tree.
