The Latin caption of the engraving states: "Vera Effigies Viri Clariss EDOARDI COKE Equitis aurati nuper Capitalis Iusticiarij ad Placita coram Rege tenenda assignati". I translated it into English as: "True portrait from life of the illustrious EDWARD COKE, knight, recently Chief Justice assigned to hold pleas before the King". Did I get it right? Sir Edward Coke was Chief Justice of the Common Pleas between 1606 and 1613, and then Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 1613 to 1616. — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
