Fol. 59v: The youth of Zion, raising his hands in despair, is looking at the Egyptian who is offering him a gold cup with potion. The old man is bearded and wears a long garment, and the youth wears a short tunic. The caption above reads: “Image of the man mourning his son, and the cup of potion is in the hand of the Egyptian”. (צורת האיש מתאבל על בנו, וביד המצרי כוס חרונו; Loewe 2004, II:485).
