That's something like "Therefore the foulest excrement and urine am I" ?
Is there a context we should be made aware of?

Not quite sure if there is any context, but shouldn't stercissima be stercorissima? Latin stercus, (stercoris, 'dung'), is a third declension neuter noun, but I guess by a stretch and in a pinch, it could be adjectivified.

¿Und?
As near as I can make it out.
Jam Arsa Mentvla Frigesco
Now I am chilled by a burning/flaming membrum virile.
But JAMF is also a well-known acronym, q.v.
Ergo merda stercissima atque micturio hominium sum.
Which, as I wrote earlier, should be:
Ergo merda stercorissima atque micturio hominium sum.
Therefore I am the filthiest dung and the urine of men.
Seems to be a play on Man is the measure of all things.
Hyokheutes Mesembrinos. 1369. Homunculus humilis atque anserculus.
This one took me a while, but it seems to be:
Greek huos 'pig, hog' + ?? okheutes 'lewd person, lecher'. And mesembrinos 'belonging to noontide; southern'. Lowly, little man and the gosling.
I was hoping Varaha would give us his translation, but he seems a tad shy.
