| a1 | Presumably out of love he touched the girl and the mechanism broke down. Out of shame the painter killed himself: |
|---|---|
| a1+ | he is hanging from the nail - |
| a2 | look, o good ones! The people, too, who saw the painting and took it for real say: |
| a3 | Alas! It was really a damage! Thereupon the master mechanic went to the king |
| a3+ | and this matter to the king he told [saying]: |
| a4 | Oh lord, there came a painter from another country [and] he came down to my house, |
| a4+ | now because of shame he has killed himself! |
| a5 | The lord should know this. The king, however, who believed him, sent the minister to (look into) this [matter]. |
| a6+ | Thereupon the ministers and noblemen, whoever had seen the picture, for everybody it was really the master painter. |
| b1 | Therefore they cried all together. Thereupon the mechanic says to the people: |
| b1+ | Useless(?) is your crying, bring my axe! |
| b2 | After having cut off the rope, carry this one away. Thereupon the mechanic wanted to cut off the rope with the axe. |
| b2+ | Thereupon the painter stood forward and said to the master mechanic: |
| b3 | || In the K.-tune: || Do not do it, do not do it, |
| b3+ | do not be sad, oh mechanic, |
| b4 | do not destroy your wall, do not destroy my painting without defect. Watch carefully, you fool/friend(?) |
| b4+ | first observe the rule: |
| b5 | one thing is the painting, another thing is the painter, why don’t you know that? 1. || |
| b5+ | All people that have seen this being amazed they laugh. |
| b6 | Thus a figure of wood and painting, too, (calls forth) the love [and] affection of the living beings, |

| a1+ | Presumably out of love he touched the girl and the mechanism broke down. Out of shame the painter killed himself: he is hanging from the nail—look, o good ones! (Peyrot 2013c: 279) |
| a4+ | Es kam ein Maler eines anderen Landes, in meinem Haus war er abgestiegen. Der hat sich jetzt aus Scham selbst getötet. (Schmidt 1974: 316) |
| a5 | The lord should know this. (cf 12; 261) (Peyrot 2013c: 223) |
| a5 | er tötete sich selbst (Schmidt 1974: 309, fn. 2) |
| b1+ | Deshalb weinten sie alle insgesamt. Darauf sagte der Mechaniker zu den Menschen: "Weinet doch nicht, holet (mir) eine Axt herbei: Nach Zerschneidung des Strickes tragt diesen fort!" (Schmidt 1974: 92-3) |
| b2 | Darauf wollte der Mechaniker mit der Axt den Strick zerschneiden. (Schmidt 1974: 148) |
| b3+ | Tu's nicht, tu's nicht, sei nicht traurig, o Mechaniker, [zerstöre] nicht deine Wand, zerstöre nicht mein makelloses Gemälde, sieh sorgfältig zu, [o] Freund, beachte zuvor die Regel: [Ein] anderes ist das Gemälde, [ein] anderes der Maler, warum weißt du [das] nicht?
