<p>[QUOTE="Marote, post: 9682989, member: 84568"]A few years ago, I bought this theca with coa. I managed to translate most parts of the handwritten text, but I'm not sure what's written after 'Theca'. It looks like 'arga', but the translation I find for this, doesn't match the context. Well, if I use Google Translate, it doesn`t translate to anything when used as a single word, but when used in combination with 'in forme ovali', it suddenly seems to translate to 'box (in oval form)'. But GT often adds words or leaves them out, so I don't know if this translation can be trusted. Anyone here with a good knowledge of Latin? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]470906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]470907[/ATTACH] </p><p>Stupid computer rotated the images again...
