The Golden Key

The Golden Key is a text segment located in the outer text ring of White Aries. If the investigation of correspondence between traditional heraldic patterns and the designs of the tubs in the VMs Zodiac continues to its historical grounding, then it is clear that the pope has two keys and this is the one that is golden. The pair of Stolfi's markers, in the textual bands, have essentially been given a sort of sacred validation.
So in addition to being highly recommended by the internal workings of the Zodiac illustrations, the text found in the segment has some unusual characteristics. In a way, keeping with the multiple examples of pairing in the astrological medallions of the first five houses, and with numerous paired, heraldic examples, this text also has multiple examples of double and triple word repetition. Something that is unique in all VMs Zodiac text segments.
Secondly, there is a decided preference in this segment for words that start with the EVA letter "o". And this is the same letter generally conceded to be first in the seventeen symbol sequence from f57v.
And third, the words from the Golden Key text segment use a very limited selection of symbols that come from the seventeen symbol sequence almost exclusively.
Positional confirmation is found in VMs heraldry. It is used in the seventeen symbol sequence. Positional confirmation is objective, where illustrative interpretations are subjective. So I expect position to be significant in the process of interpretation for this VMs text segment.
