Hi Laura,
“cornu epistolae”, the right side of the alter, from the point of view of the congregation. Cornu, -us can made “side”. The other side would be the “cornu euangeliae”.

Subject: [M-R] Epistle side

I'm struggling to transcribe a document which refers to the epistle side of a church screen (at least I think that's what it's talking about) but I can't read the term for side. It looks like 'cirnu/cornu epistole'. A dictionary search leads to 'citra' as a possibility, but it really doesn't look like that. What would be the usual term for 'epistle side'?
Many thanks,
Laura
