Transcription Notes:
"The letters "ss" at the location of the venue section of the notary certificate [top left corner] actually stand for the Latin word scilicet which means in particular, to wit, or namely." In this case, the Notary spelled out the word instead of using Ss. or, rather, misspelled it. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-17 21:27:53
