agree  philgoddard: I don't think the word "special" adds anything to the sentence though. I agree that you don't need to translate "Unter" because it's repetition.

agree  Allison Wright (X): I am horrified that www.dict.cc - although good - was taken as the ultimate authority in this matter by the answerer! See reference given under "Reference comments". "...a special loss account under the capital account..." is my take.
