QUARTERIA

I can't find appropriate translation for the following: "...quarteria intertenent." (XVII century)
Thank you in advance,

(by) a fourth (part)

I can't supply an exact rendering without additional context, but 'intertenent' means 'they hold (or own) jointly (lit., 'hold between themselves', i.e., in respect of property and the like), and 'quateria' seems to be an ablative of degree of difference.

The phrase would thus mean something like, 'They hold a fourth part jointly' in English (i.e., 'They jointly own a fourth of x').

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Dear Joseph, thank you very much. I've translated it more or less the same. But "a fourth part of sth" is QUARTARIUM not QUARTERIUM and that's why I don't know whether my translation stands for it or not. I've browsered Net too, but again no luck. :("

not Classical Latin

Not a Latin word. Maybe, if you had more context...

Best wishes,
