I agree, it is still obscure. First of all, I can't understand how "mallier aller" can fit in with "lucent". As for the rest, I can assume (for the nth time):
1. that the next word after lucz begins with "he.", the last faded letter can be "r", "c" or "n". So, to the word "her", as a possibility, I would add "hec" (a variant of Latin "haec" - those (nominative, neuter, plural). As well, I accept the idea about the abbreviation "her" for the word "herba/-ae/-is"
2. that the third "word" is really not one word, but two: " p.. illuminis", "p.." can be an abbreviation, something like "pō", "pī"or "ṕp", or so, meaning "populis" or "pro", or "prae". ("pro illuminis, prae illuminis, populis illuminis/populi illumini).
Quote:"lucent" now seems to me an excellent candidate, though interpreting the whole sentence remains an apparently impossible challenge.
