Mysterious Text in Last DS9 Episode

Near the very end of the very last episode of DS9, when Bashir and Dax are talking about taking on a new holoprogram about the Spartans, there's a panel with scrolling text behind Bashir's head. At first I thought it was nothing, but then I spotted that it was in English and not the usual abstract DS9 glyphs. I was watching it online, so not the best definition to try to read the whole thing. Can anyone else make it out?

    I dont know off the top of my head, but they still have screens displaying english here and there, but it would not surprise me if someone put a little easter egg in there.

    Wouldn't it be something if it is the entire post you just posted, word for word?

    Yeah, that's an Okudagram.

    What does it say? good luck with that. Some of the DS9 Okudagrams were character lists though. Maybe this was a list of the characters killed off during the DS9 series?

    It is a space travel advertisement.

    I can't make everything out, not only because of the angle and fuzzy image, but also because Julian's hair keeps getting in the way.

    The first paragraph is largely unreadable as a result, at least with my resources, but I did make out the word "Risa" deep into the paragraph.

    What I have been able to reconstruct looks like this:

    Visit Scenic
    or the amazing ---
    (rest of paragraph unintelligible)

    With the latest warp
    drive powered ships,
    You could be on --nn-(too fuzzy)
    Major or scenic -N--(also fuzzy, though I'd almost swear it says "Endor")
    in less time than you
    thought possible!

    There's never been a
    Better time to travel the
    Galaxy!

    From the spectacular
    Castles on Rige---(I'm assuming it says Rigel, which if I remember right, likely references the castle illusion from The Cage)

    Man, I love it when they put in the random pieces of detail into the background like that. Just like when they show an LCARS displaying something actually relevant to what they're doing or talking about. One of the many reasons I love Star Trek.
