CLERICUS.

[The words, "Captain of the 29th Regiment," may be thus rendered into

Latin: "Centurio sive Capitanus vicesimæ nonæ cohortis." The word

_capitanus_, though not Ciceronian, was in general use for a military

captain during the Middle Ages, as appears from Du Cange's _Glossary_:

"Item vos armati et congregati quendam de vobis in _capitaneum_

elegistis."]
