Title: 1773 Testament dative - 1 word required
Post by: WMO on Tuesday 25 June 24 19:17 BST (UK)

I am struggling with 1 word in this testament dative of 1773 - it comes after the phrase Summa inventarii ...
is it just 'noted'?
The whole of the man's money was taken up by the church for funeral and other debts.
Testament of Stephen Downie, St Andrews Commissary Court, July 1773
Thanks.
