I also think you're making no sense. See, "I do know it's not latin or french, I'm translating an 13 century manuscript writen in ancient latin, but in my latin text there is no such word."

1) You do know it's not Latin while you're translating a manuscript written in ancient Latin?
2) In "your" Latin text there is no such word? What do you mean by "your" text if it does not refer to the text you are translating?
3) Did you know that in the English language the names of languages (Latin, French, etc.) are capitalized and the word "writen" is spelled with two T's?

4) \"13\" starts with a T, therefore it should be \"*A* 13-century manuscript\" not \"an 13 century.\"
