I would suggest only one correction …

… p(er) attorn(atum) suu(m)

(To explain the grammar, which I know you will appreciate, the possessive adjective suus normally agrees with the object that is possessed, which here is singular, not with the person/people doing the possessing.)

I think it is probably Miller (rather than myller), and that there is a descender on the M which just indicates a capital.

I love a bit of grammar  :) Back to my Latin primer.

I would have never recalled that peculiarity of possessive adjectives.

Thank you again.
