Latin in old PRs

[sw1]

I hope I am on the right forum for my query. If not, can someone please re-direct me.

I am helping to check and proofread transcriptions of old PRs.

Can anyone tell me what "hict exhib" means?

Someone suggested it means that the register was checked and shown to higher authority at that time.

I wonder if it was something to with the date a child was received ito the church after baptism.

Does anyone have any ideas? I trawled various Latin to English sites yesterday to no avail.
Thank you.

Without seeing a clip of the original, and without knowing the date, it's hard to be certain.

But it sounds most likely to be a Latin abbreviation for 'exhibited up to here', showing the point reached in the register when it was submitted for inspection, perhaps at a visitation to the parish by the bishop or one of his representatives.

Thank you for your reply. The date was around the 1760s.
You are the third person who has come up with that explanation so it seems that's what it is. And it does make sense.

Many thanks.
