Transcription help - Latin

[Lindsay]

I have an inventory from 1615 which has a couple of dozen words at the end that I can't read - at least, I can make out some of them but not enough to make sense of it.

Does anyone fancy having a go? I could email a copy or post a few words at a time as attachments.

I've spent longer on these few words than I did on the rest of the inventory!

I might manage the words, tho' not necessarily the translation.

Any help would be appreciated. See what you think.

Big thanks to Phoenix who managed to give me the gist of what it said :)

If not all the words. Caesar's Gallic Wars had a different vocabulary. Lots of interfecit and having-been-slaughtered horses. Not much call for that in inventories!

Oh, Caesar's Gallic Wars! Well I remember them. Most memorable, however, was Lesbia, so beloved of Catullus. Again, not much use for family history.

I was trying not to lower the tone there! But yes, while I only I have two, three word quotes from Caesar, I can spout masses of Catullus, and my paperback copy is appropriately wine-stained.

I feel suitably impressed. I only progressed as far as the Aeneid for O Level Latin.

2 terms of Latin at school - oh the shame as my Dad had a Masters in Latin and Greek lol.

Agris cultis is an example of the ablative absolute. I knew learning it would come in handy one day!
