NEW SOLID 925 Sterling Silver Real 375 Gold Pendant Icon Pendant Medal Necklace Saint Benedict Oxidized Filigree Fleur-de-lis Pattern Fine and Faith Ukrainian Jewelry 1769
"EIVS IN OBITV NRO PRAESENTIA MVNIAMVR" is the slightly abbreviated form of "EIVS IN OBITV NOSTRO PRAESENTIA MVNIAMVR." Easier to read as "eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur" and it roughly means "may we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death." This usually surrounds the effigy of the saint, so it is Benedict who will strengthen the wearer in the hour of death."CRVXS.PATRIS" is "CRUX SANCTI PATRIS" - "the cross of our holy father" and refers to St. Benedict."IN MANU PROPRIA" ("by my own hand") refers to something signed by one's own hand, in this case, St. Benedict, I presume.The remaining text consists of a string of abbreviations with some letters taken out of usual order. I'll only give them here in their usual order read around the parts of the medal, with the translation, but you can see the correspondence.C.S.S.M.L.: CRUX SACRA SIT MIHI LUX - May the Holy Cross be my light!
