I am working with a text which is antiquated and very vague in some places, but I do need to understand the exact meaning. There is a passage that simply escapes me, no matter how much I search the dictionaries. I can of course guess and invent, but I was wondering if anyone is aware of a more ancient use and meaning of the French verb "supposer":
C'est en fait le texte d'une note de bas de page et le contexte est un peu compliqué, mais je vais quand-même le citer ici, comme on me l'a suggéré dans les commentaires.
Ce texte est traduit de l'arménien mentionné dans la note.
