My first reading was off the transcription given.
I looked at the image afresh - I think the first word is von / bon ( the v/b confusion was/is very commo), archaic form of buen or good. The penultimate word is palabras, words. Can't read the last word, I'm looking at it from a phones screen, I suppose it could be jovenes, young. Cantantes is plural and means singers. Autire would be properly spelt autor, but if you read it as the verb it makes sense - it could be translated as to direct.
I read von labor es autire cantantes palabras ?
Or a phrase meaning : good work it is to author (direct) singers with words ?
But we're missing a preposition for the sentence to make sense.
Helmut has read it as Latin, I read it as archaic castellan. I'm not really sure - the verb to authordoesn't exist in Spanish, although autor had an archaic meaning of a theatrical creative manager.
