Accounts for Salai, geometry notes, and a seated figure
Money owed for Salai, dated March receipts, geometric numbers, and a man seated in a roundel
A miscellaneous working page, much of it in red chalk and written upside down. One note itemises sums for Salai - 6 lire in a bow, 4 soldi in a bow, 10 soldi in a chain - and another dated memorandum records that on 14 March he received 13 lire 4 soldi, with 16 lire 16 soldi remaining. Alongside are loose numbers labelled as geometric figures and a phrase 'against the natural course of its heaviness', a hint of a note on motion opposing gravity. A red-chalk roundel encloses a small figure of a man seated in a chair.

Sums recorded for Salai
An itemised note lists money in Salai's name: 6 lire in a bow (arco), 4 soldi in a bow, and 10 soldi in a chain (catena). A separate dated entry records that on 14 March he received 13 lire 4 soldi, leaving 16 lire 16 soldi outstanding.
Loose numbers with geometric figures
A block captioned 'geometric figures' carries scattered numbers - 28, 44 and 1/3, 34, 7, 852, and 2 with 3 - set beside red-chalk figures rather than continuous prose.
'Against the natural course of its heaviness'
Among the same notes is the phrase 'against the natural course of its heaviness (gravity)', a fragment touching on a body moved contrary to its natural downward tendency.
Man seated in a chair within a roundel
A red-chalk roundel near the centre encloses a small figure of a man seated in a chair or cathedra, sketched loosely. No text accompanies the drawing.
