At first, I also thought that the author was using Latin in the Voynich manuscript, but then I discovered the T ligature as an abbreviation for various Latin words and understood its function. That gave me the idea to interpret it as EL. And then the word made sense. Oel is the abbreviation for Oelum (confirmed), and the viol is also clearly recognisable. Oel. viol. is also a clear Latin abbreviation for violet oil, which has been proven to have been used since the Greeks in a medical context. Since it also fits perfectly into the rest of the Latin sentence, it is a likely translation option.
It is simply annoying that the water stain has made the last words illegible, because that would have been clear proof. Unfortunately, nothing can be recognised anymore. See below.

Are there no opinions on the translation? Complete nonsense or does it make sense?
