|Note title='Poenitus' V.S. 'Penitus'
|Note text=These verbs are spelled similarly with different meanings, so this is likely a transcription error. 'Poenitus' is the perfect passive participle of 'poenio,' meaning ''having been punished''. 'Penitus' can be an adjective or an adverb meaning ''inner, thoroughly''. <lb/>
The choice changes the meaning of the sentence: <lb/>
With 'poenitus': '...et dolorem considerat, ponderat, et poenitus novit aestimare qualis, et quantus sit' means ''...and he contemplates his grief, and weighs it, and after having been punished, he knows how greatly to judge it and how much it is worth.''
With 'penitus': '...et dolorem considerat, ponderat, et penitus novit aestimare qualis, et quantus sit' means ''...and he contemplates his grief, and weighs it, and he knows thoroughly how greatly to judge it and how much it is worth.''
Both are possible, but I believe 'penitus' is the better choice.
