Any help translating the attached death record for my ancestor, Salvatore Blanda, from Prizzi, Sicily, would be much appreciated. It looks like the date is 18 Sep 1793, and he is the son of the deceased Andrea and the husband of Maria Blanda. But due to bleed through and my difficulty with Latin, I am unsure of the following:
Would Scianni be Maria's birth surname? What is Salvatore's age? What does the abbreviation "Mag" before Salvatore's name signify? Is there any other pertinent information in the record?
Thank you very much for any help!

Would Scianni be Maria's birth surname (I agree, though I'm unsure about the "c")? What is Salvatore's age 72 (trium supra septuaginta)? What does the abbreviation "Mag" before Salvatore's name signify , ("Magister" is said of people particularly skilled in their job, usually artisans like masons, etc)? Is there any other pertinent information in the record?
Thank you very much for any help!

Re: Blanda death record
I wondered about that with the "tri" prefix. Thank you so much!
