[Trinity] Questions about Trinity MS script

[-JKP-]

agtis dicit. licomos

I'm not sure what to do with the subscript, probably insert S and a vowel? Agstis?

This translates as agrestis, called/spoken/said to be licomos.

Agrestis is used to refer to wild versions of plants and doesn't always mean it's the same species. For example, you might have a cultivated plant like Romaine lettuce and then Plant-Name "agrestis" to refer to a wild plant (which is not necessarily in the same plant family), for example, a wild plant that is eaten or used in a similar way. You'll find the word agrestis throughout these herbals, abbreviated in various ways. Domesticus is used for the cultivated varieties, usually food crops (things like beets, cabbage, lettuce,e tc.).
