| | We also bear witness that the candidate, having undergone a quite difficult examination in year x, s | Explanation:
I am certain of the meaning up to 'cum se examina', which is obviously incomplete. 'Examinatione severiore habita', as being an ablative absolute, is often best translated into English by an active participle.

The comparative degree is often used in the sense of 'rather, quite', not simply 'more'. |
