The meaning of 'cappis' is not entirely clear. The same word appears after the name of each of the feast days from 26 to 29 December, appearing as 'cappis' with no abbreviation mark in the first case, for the 26th. We have translated 'cappis' as 'with copes,' believing that this may indicate a 'dies caparum,' a special feast day when the monks would wear copes (R.E. Latham and D.R. Howlett (comps), Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources, sv 'dies,' 8a and 'cappa,' 5d).
