[Trinity] Questions about Trinity MS script

[-JKP-]

I'm currently collecting the linguistic and geographical information from the middle section. For the plant "scabiosa" on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. there is a common name, an Egyptian name and this:


agtis dicit. licomos

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

Hi Koen, here is what I make out of the first two lines.

... a grecis dicitur licomos ...

Ah, of course, here it is "a grecis" (in Greek)—ag'cis. I should have looked at the original page so I could see the word before the phrase, rather than just looking at the clip (my responsibility). Context is everything when unspooling Latin abbreviations.


Agrestis is often abbreviated this way (ag'tis, ag'stis), and is sprinkled throughout this manuscript.
