Fol. 6:

Next to the end of the text of the Kiddush, in the outer margin is a seated man drinking wine from a cup. The inscription is no longer visible. A boy pouring water over the hands of a man, above a metal basin, is depicted below, illustrating the blessing over hand washing. Inscribed:

"  על ידיו זורקין המים ומברך על נטילת ידים."                                                               

"On his hands water is poured, and he recites the blessing over hands washing."

In the lower margin, below the instructions to dip greenery in vinegar is a couple with a child seated at the seder table. The man dips green leaves into a bowl. To the left, a bottle is hung on a hook. Inscribed:

" בלי דופי ושמץ טיבול ראשון בחומץ."

"With no blemish, no harm, the first dipping is in vinegar."
