Not sure where you got that definition for amanuensis, but this is what it actually means: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/amanuensis
ReplyDeleteThe definition comes from the list of Straka Candidates - There is some info on the Eotvos Wheel website
DeleteI'll update the post with that link as well.
To be clear, amanuensis isn't anyone's name. It's just a word describing somebody (like Apis's Doctor or Apis's Wife). So this is just referring to an unnamed somebody who either took dictation from Apis or transcribed documents for him. Also, I believe you meant Serbian, not Servian.
