Best Answer

aetatis; ae., aet.; aetatis suae

Aged; of age; in the year of his (or her) age.

These terms are shortened versions of the more proper anno aetatis suae, "In the year of his/her age.". Frequently found abbreviated on old tombstones, it appears variously as A.A.S., A.S., and most commonly aet; for example, if someone died in his 41st year, the marker might read "d. aet.41" or "ob. aet. 41"
