peer agreement (net): +1witness to the agreement Explanation: .....I assume, though can't see why concordantiam is in the accusative here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2013-09-17 10:23:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Checked this - attestor = 1st person present of verb attestari, a deponent verb, so the literal meaning is "I witness the agreement", hence the accusative. |

5 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1I testify to the faithfulness (sc. of the copy) Explanation: A baptism is not really an agreement. I suspect that the certificate is seen as an extract from the baptismal register, and the priest is vouching for its faithfulness to what is recorded in the register. But I cannot support this interpretation of 'concordantia'. |
