Notes to answerer
Asker: Hello Helio... The document is a scan of an old birth certificate and it is really hard to read. It is also the first time I see that word on this kind of document. Thanks for the help.

verso


Explanation:
I don't believe in 'paragraph', as it doesn't fit in with the context.
I know nowadays they put folha 186 or 186v (for verso) depending on what side of the page the document is on. So possibly in the past they used 'par' (for even-numbered side) instead of verso.
