[14] The abbreviation in the inscription "pLan" is difficult to
interpret. According to Father F. X. Winters, S.J., it may
represent "sit planetis" or "sit planetarum." The use of an
abbreviation was necessary to prevent the addition of another
letter I or M, which would have disturbed the formation of the
chronogram desired. Literally, "sit planetis" means "May he be
eternal ruler _by_ [or _through_] favor of the planets," while
"sit planetarum" is to be translated "May he be eternal ruler
_of_ the planets." Father Winters considered both versions
somewhat overexaggerated and proposed that the best translation
might be "Long Live Francis I, Emperor."
[15] The word "Tempe" refers to the Vale of Tempe, in Thessaly,
through which the Peneus River flows. It is between Mounts
Olympus and Ossa, and is situated between the town of Larissa
and the sea. In mythology, it is told that these mounts were
originally joined and Hercules separated them to allow the river
to pass between them. The word "Tempe" is also used to mean any
pleasant place. Thus, the inscription "Tempe indesinenter
clausa, Scaturigo signata" is literally translated "Tempe always
closed, A fount of water sealed up" or, freely translated, as "A
garden enclosed, a fountain sealed up."
[16] "Phoebi" or Phoebus, called Apollo, the sun god; Phoebes or
Diana, the moon goddess, sister of Apollo.
