Patero put ajunt????

[nhtim]

I am having difficulty understanding this phrase in the baptismal record. I think it has to do with the father saying that he was not the biological father of the child. Can someone help with this statement. I have attached a copy of the phrase.

I don’t know what the o is doing there, but it could be pater fuit, ajunt (‘he was the father, they say’).

I agree, I think that it is Pater fuit

I don’t know what the o is doing there

I thought that it was just a blot, as seen a few lines further down.

Thank you very much for the replies! The child was listed as illegitimate, so the answer was a big help!

That would make sense:
The father was, they say, Constantine Lotyriski?, a tailor.

There are several proper nouns in there, and it’s difficult to work out what they might be, with this need-to-know basis on which translation-requesters work when it comes to provenance.

It looks like

Pater fuit ajunt
Constantinus
Zolyniski sartor
Mater, affirmamus
sibus? Æstibus?
Maria vidua
p. d. Francisci
Ztolek.
