Grammar
traisc, tráisc (?); adj. In the following passage this word is used to translate tragicus, which, however, seems to have been taken as an adjective formed from a proper name. In another passage the same word is rendered by
tróiesc, tróisc (q. v. ) Trojan, perhaps the same meaning is intended here
