‘opercula’, that is the covers of sea shells or of coal holes in Victorian England, seems better than the Ruskin Library Transcript T7B ‘opescula’. ‘trenches’ is the reading of the Ruskin Library Transcript T7B, but ‘trenchers’, meaning plates, seems to make better sense and to be a possible reading of the manuscript.
