Italian term

I.C.S.

Italian to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
This abbreviation is used as a caption for pictures. It is used for pictures that are very similar to a previous captioned picture, so I suspect it may mean something like Idem or See Above Caption, etc.

idem come sopra - same as above

this should be it.

Judging from Tom's comment, I feel my answer was somewhat misleading (or maybe not). ICS stands for "idem come sopra", no doubt about this. I do NOT intend to suggest you may use ICS or "Idem come sopra" in English. However, I have included "Idem come sopra" in the answer for completeness' sake. I do suggest you translate it as "Same as above".

thank you!
agree Tom in London : "same as above" . not "idem". I know what ICS means in Italian but that abbrev. doesn't work in English.

yes. "Idem come sopra" is just the meaning of the acronym in Italian. Thanks :-)

Idem Come Sopra

I think you are right, I found the same acronym used for "idem come sopra". HTH

Sorry, I didn't offer a translation. Not sure what the standard in English is, but you could say "See Above", "Same as Above", or your very first "See Caption Above". Cheers!
