[DCRM-L] Sur l'imprime?

Folks,
It has been a few years since I have actually cataloged anything, and
would appreciate some help with an imprint statement.

I am cataloging a 1690 French translation of Gregory the Great's On
Pastoral Care.  The imprint reads

Sur l'imprime,  [in small italics]
A LYON,
Chez PIERRE VALFREY, rue Merciere,
a la Couronne d'Or
[horizontal line]
M.DC. XC.
AVEC PRIVILEGE DU ROI.

How should the phrase "Sur l'imprime" be recorded?

Options (without keeping original punctuation and without diacritics) seem
to include:

1) Lyon : Sur l'imprime, a LYON, Chez Pierre Valfrey ..., 1690.

2) Sur l'imprime, a LYON : Chez Pierre Valfrey ..., 1690.

3) A LYON : Chez Pierre Valfrey ..., 1690

4) as no. 3, but with a note that the words "Sur l'imprime" precede "A
Lyon" on the t.p.

OCLC offers examples of all of these, except possibly 4.  What am I
missing in DCRM(B) or the examples?

Thanks,
Larry
