Annater ("årspengar" av lat. annus "år") kallades en avgift som betalades till den romerska kurian av den som erhöll ett kyrkligt ämbete.
Remarks about the translation
Al traducir este texto usando wikipedia y por gráficos y dibujos, pude entender que "romerska kurian" significa imperio romano, pero de lo demás no tengo idea porque en wikipedia no dicen en español de que idioma se trata; y este es el peor dilema. Quisiera saber lo que significa porque mi hijo soñó con esa palabra y le llamó mucho la atención. También lo pueden traducir al inglés británico o americano porque tengo amigos que me pueden ayudar con ese idioma. Muchas gracias de antemano.

I would like to make some observations:

"av den" means "by the one" and not "by those", Can not be translated by plural, because "den" reffers to the singular. Than it should has been "de" in the Sweedish text.

ecclesiastical means, according to Oxford dictionary, "relating to the Christian Church or its clergy" or Romans were not Christian, so, in my opinion, the word is incorrectly used. More correct would be "relligious official position".

Than "erhöll" means "to receive" or "to get" and it has been translated by "had", which is, again, not 100% correct.

"By the one" or "by those" have the same effect here.
I'm trying not to make literal translations.

This is a tax from the XV century, not from antient Rome.

Kyrka = church.

OK, my mistake there, the original text did write "Roman", this creates confusions. What about "erhøll"?

kyrkligt = relligious and, by the way, we have almost the same word in Faroese.

Wow. That was my HUGE mistake.
Thank you for pointing me this one (erhöll), Bamsa.

And yes, you are right about kyrkligt=religius, but you can see that it's an adjective for "church", like "churchy".

Casper,
1. Bamsa is right, this IS singular , den = "by the one..."

2. About the meaning of ecclesiastical.. I think he is right about it and maybe you should use a more neutral word for "kyrkligt ämbete", religious official position or church's official position.

3. This is not about tax, just a charge or a fee.

Casper,
according to (the best dictionary!!)wiki "kyrkligt ämbete"
is the same as Patriark = Patriarch
maybe you could use that word...

NO Pia. There it's like an explanation, like
Patriark (kyrkligt ämbete)
Elephant (animal)

Because there can be more than one arcticle with the same name.
Patriarch can't be applied here.
Anyway, thank you.

Hola otra vez, estoy leyendo la argumentación que tuviste con Pias y Bamsa sobre mi texto, y me encantaría saber, en español, de qué se trató. ¿A qué conclusión llegaron?. ¿La Curia Romana es la iglesia romana?. ¿El pago es un impuesto?. ¿Quién le paga a quién, la curia al que va a trabajar en la iglesia o el que trabaja en la iglesia a la curia?. Por favor, aclara mis dudas.
