Latin to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Latin term or phrase: bebdomada | I'm working through a Medieval text about the Eddas, and am not sure I have this right. Please let me know your thoughts.
I cannot find "bebdomada" in any of my lexicons.
Source:
Freya & Tyr etiam bellorum præsides. A Tyro tertius, a Thoro quintus in bebdomada dies denominati sunt. Thuras seu Mars Rex Assyriorum.
My rendering:
Freya and Tyr are still the governors of wars. From Tyr the third, and from Thor the fifth in [bebdomada] days are named. Either Thuras or Mars is King of the Assyrians. |

| | week | Explanation:
= hebdomada Clearly a typo!
Hebdomas, -atis means the 7th day in classical Latin, here refering to the week -> "fifth day of the week" or a phrase to that effect.
