The meaning of Era ut Supra

[Azores Genealogy group]

Looking for the meaning of Era ut supra. I believe it might be Latin for "true and correct" but not sure.  The words commonly appear on baptismal and marriage entries. Anyone like to comment?

Latin. I translate it as "It was as above." But yes, it means it's true and correct.

It is usually the very last sentence before the signature(s). It is Latin for "on the date stated above: era=date; ut=as; supra=above.

What John Raposo said.  You can translate it to portuguese as "data como acima".

When I started doing genealogy in the Azores, I contacted a Catholic Priest on Graciosa about getting a copy of my grandmother's baptismal record.  Upon receiving it and working through the translation, I wrote back to him asking about the phrase Era ut Supra.  He said it means:  "what is stated above is true" (like a certification).

From Dicionario da Lingua Portuguesa (Fernando J. da Silva, Editorial Domingos Barreira, Porto: 1955) Locucoes Latinas, Gregas e Estrangeiras (p. 1587.) Era ut supra (Lat.) A data como acima. (English translation (mine) date as above.
