Fol. 92v: An author is sitting on a stool with a lectern next to him, listening to the man of God who displays an inscribed scroll written by the scribe Abraham. The inscription reads: “I, I who speak and perhaps the author will hear me” (אני אני המדבר ואולי ישמע המחבר). The caption above reads: “Image of the man of God speaking in the manner for which he is praised, and the author listens ‘because he hath inclined his ear’ to him” (Ps. 116:2; צורת איש האלהים מדבר כפי מהללו, והמחבר שומע כי הטה/ אזנו לו; Loewe 2004, II:719).
