entry
aditus (approach): introitus (entrance; also, figuratively, entry into an office; e.g., introitus sacerdotii): ingressio: ingressus (act of entering): transitio pervia (passage, through houses, etc.).
Name, remark, etc., entered in a book, professio (the public entering of one’s name, Liv., or property, Cic.); but mostly by circumlocution with nomen (aliquid, etc.) intabulas or codicem referre. Sometimes nomen will do for entries in a debt-book. Have you made regular entries of your other debts in your ledger? utrum cetera nomina in codicem accepti et expensi digesta habes? (Cic.): to make an entry of a debt in a day-book or ledger, nomen in adversaria (day-book), or in codicem accepti et expensi referre. There is no entry of that, id nusquam est (Cic.): there is no entry even of that, ne id quidem scriptum est (Cic., pro Dom., 20, init.).
