  1. I speak spanish, not latin but i think that "aedificatum" means "edificar" in spanish, so in english it would be "to build" or "to construct"

    Hope i helped a little


  2. It's a past participle and means "built."  The whole phrase means "built by my workers."  Since you don't have a whole sentence, I can't tell whether "aedifcatum" is neuter (nominative or accusative) or masculine accusative, but there's probably a noun earlier in the sentence for it to modify.

  3. "Aedificatum" on its own apparently doesn't mean anything, but I did find "aedificium edificium" which is "building." But I can't really go farther than that - I don't know Latin too well.

    Edit: Oh! Found it: "that which is built."
