Latin glossary and conversion of the trabocco measure
Word-list; the trabocco expressed in braccia and once
The main column carries a further stretch of the Latin word-study, glossing satur (sated), insulsus (insipid), plerumque (often) and tota (whole), and defining the grammatical pair suppositio and appositio as what by nature comes first and what naturally comes after. A separate note converts a unit of length, expressing the trabocco as 4 braccia plus one-third and two-thirds of an oncia, that is 14/3 of an oncia, equal to 14/36 of a braccio.

A further column of Latin words with Italian glosses, from satur (sated) and insulsus (insipid) to abiecta and tota. Two entries define grammatical roles, suppositio as what by nature comes first and appositio as what naturally comes after. Function words and verbs such as utuntur, reperitur and requirit are each rendered into Italian.
Converting the trabocco into braccia and once
A metrological note expresses the trabocco as 4 braccia plus one-third and two-thirds of an oncia, that is 14/3 of an oncia, equal to 14/36 of a braccio. The reckoning reduces a compound measure to fractions of a braccio, and breaks off mid-sentence.
