"(La)tere" in the 6th paragraph is a good match for what is often read "cere" in VMS You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. line 2. But "tere" is not a legal latin word, while "cere" is...
For those who aren't familiar with Latin, latere refers to the side (dolore in sinistro latere > pain/twinge/discomfort in the left side).
The shape of the "r" in this Egerton sample is actually quite unusual. It is a footed-r, which is fairly common, but the scribe rolls the foot up in a curve so that it touches the crossbar (so that it almost looks like a medieval "v"). This is not a common way to write "r".
As strange as it may look to modern eyes, the 116v "r" with the hook so far from the stem is actually fairly common. I see it regularly. But a rolled-up foot on an "r" so that it almost could be mistaken for "v" is much harder to find.
