Notes
- 1 ↩Source reads “JEtate proveetos”; translated as intended aetate provectos (“advanced in age/years”).
- 2 ↩Source reads 'Deerepitos.' Most plausible intended form is Latin 'decrepitos' (accusative plural of decrepitus, 'worn out with age / decrepit'), continuing the previous section's list of elderly men.
