If you're guessing that the first letter in Line 0 is a "p", that could make a lot of sense in the 15th century German dialects: "b" often shifted to "p".
I'm quoting from "A History of German" by Joe Salmons (one of the books we had to read from cover-to-cover in my Master's German linguistics class):

/b/ merges with /p/ in Upper German, consistently in Bavarian (be- = pi-, Glaube = calaupe, etc.), initially in Alemannic (bist = pist, but Glaube = kilaubu). In final position, we find merger (selp for selb)

(Salmons, Joseph. A History of German: What the Past Reveals about Today's Language. Oxford University Press, 2013: 118.)

I don't disagree with your interpretation of "pox leben/leber" and you have very good evidence to support it, so I will just offer my own view:
If you're reading the first two words in Line 0 as "pox leber", that could be the Bavarian or Alemannic form of the now-standard "Bocks Leber" (goat's liver), and the little animal on You are not allowed to view links.

The rest of the line is too ambiguous to pin down - a few letters are clear, but I can't propose any meaning.
