Latin 5v

Page:MS Latin 11269 5v.jpg

Crure simul stafile levans / te vertet ad imum
Hec mea dextra potens. nec erit quae molliat artus.[1]

Aspice quam forti teneo tua[2] colla lacerto /
Qui modo per terram frustra conatis[3] inermem[4]
Spargere[5] tentabas. sed te contraria vincunt .

English 5v


Lifting by the leg and also by the stirrup[6], this, my strong right [hand],
will turn you to the farthest [the ground], nor will there be anything which would enfeeble [my] limb [arm].




Observe how I hold your neck with my strong upper arm
by this means your attempt to scatter the unarmed one to the ground is frustrated



  1. To the right of the verse are a bracket, a +, and some erased words. The binding did not open wide enough to reveal these with ultraviolet photography.
  2. Added later: "pro tui".
  3. This can also be read "conatus"
  4. Added later: "scilicet".
  5. This separation between the initial letter and remainder of the first word of the line is inconsistent with the rest of the text.
  6. stafile is probably a form of staffa, listed in DMLBS meaning "stirrup" and borrowed from German
