Ann. and mens. Abbreviations; Ablatives not Accusatives of Time? #49

Closed ncjalb16 closed 10 years ago

In regnal 240_r2 on folio 113v, "annis" is used for the extent of Commodus' reign. Up to this point, we have expanded the time words in regnal rows to the accusative case, but now are unsure whether the scribe intended them all to be ablative.

Based on evidence on 14v that show "ann" expand to "annis" as well as comparative evidence from the St. Gallen manuscript, we have concluded that ann abbreviations are ablatives not accusatives
