peer agreement (net): +3secretary? annotator? Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentarii "Different departments of the imperial administration and certain high functionaries kept records, which were under the charge of an official known as a commentariis (cf. a secretis, ab epistulis)" ======= http://www.textkit.com/greek-latin-forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t... "About "a secretis", meaning "private secretary". Take a look to Latham and Mittellateinisches Wörteburch (Munich, 1959, s. u.). It seems that it is a medieval expression, formed by analogy with formulas such as "a libellis" or "ab epistulis", which were used to designate imperial servants."
