Hello, could someone please interpret the writing on this baptism register? It's Catholic, from Ireland in 1854. The baptism itself is on the other page, just the standard parents' names. I think this section, on the next page (marked in red) is the godparents, but I'm not sure.

Nr 30 Elizam Jacobi & Maria Williams
S Patricus Ratican Anna ...
Jacobi =James
Maria = Mary
Patricus=Patrick
Added The usual layout for baptism record is childs given name, father and mother and then sponsors (godparents) names

The baptism in context (Nov 30, right page, 2nd entry down from top):

Not sure what you mean about 'the other page', the snippet you've posted is the whole record, the only thing I would add to the previous post is that the other sponsor may be Anna Yaw, there is a marriage on 1 June 1857 of an Anna Yaw to David McHale in the Drumlane RC parish register (left page, 2nd entry up from bottom):

Ah, thank you both. Sorry, my mistake, I misremembered the date of the baptism I was looking for, it hadn't been November 30th. But I misread it, it was on the previous page, and I had assumed this page was a note section, with godparents and such. Thank you both, though!
