French.

De l’Ambraxie & du pais de Thrace,

Peuple par Mer, Mal, & secours Gaulois,

Perpetuelle en Provence la Trace,

Avec vestiges de leur Coustumes & Loix.

English.

From Ambraxia, and from the Countrey of Thracia,

People by Sea, Evil, and French succours,

The Trace of it shall be perpetual in Provence,

The footsteps of their Customs and Laws remaining.

ANNOT.

What Countrey this Ambraxia should be, is yet unknown, for my part I take it to be a forged word, as for Thracia it is a Countrey between Hungary and Greece.

Observe here that Evil is not an Epithete, to either People or Sea, but a word of admiration by it self, as malum in Latine, which is called vox admirantis.
