English translation:as they exist
Explanation:
Watch out for that typo ther!

It means, of course, 'what they consist of...' --- I'm not aware of an equivalent one-word term in English [I think 'consistence' in English is archaic and inappropriate here]. In the absence of greater inspiration (you'll have to wait for the others for that!), I'd suggest 'as they exist and in the condition they are in at the time of...'
