Traduzione - Latino-Inglese - Matri e dominae

maddie_mazie,

"Ladies", not "wives".

goncin, I knew it, but I checked anyway

domina, -ae = wife/mistress etc.

OK, but the Latin source seems not to be correct as well.

CC: charisgre

Matres et dominae is the Nominativus plural. But may be to the mother and wife (Dativus, sing., fem). It is the "title" of the woman of the house, I believe. Mater et domina. The mistake is sure related with the "et". I incline to the singular. "To the mother and wife", or "In the honour of the mother and wife". It depends on the original.

Welcome back, dear! And thanks!

Yes, the requester must have meaning "matri et dominae", but, as the translation has been already accepted in English, I'd to "correct" the source to "matres et dominae" in order to match the English translation.

"Matri et dominae" the inscription on one of the Florentines walls. I doublecheked this time

Thanks a lot )
