What is this on the top left of the Rosette Page?
#10
Without a clear scan I don't think I can have an opinion on what it says at all. I wouldn't even be confident in the first letter. 
However if I trust Theodore Petersen's version,

saeeasaC

This is extremely odd "Voynichese", at just about every turn. I've wondered in cases like these if they are not using the usual encoding method.

ae is extremely rare, and so is ac (if it is ach and not aee)
as is also extremely rare, and a lot of supposed cases are more likely ar and transcribed wrongly.
c with no h or kh (etc) is basically unheard of. Again the ac pairing is extremely rare also. And obviously, you can not end a word like this, even completed as ch I don't think that ends words very often at all, though these sorts of stats are not my forte, so happy to be proven wrong if so. 

If this reading is right, it is not normal Voynichese at all, it is about as far away as you can get. I'd speculate then that it is maybe outside of the normal method (maybe it is a simple substitution of a name, or something), or maybe added later by one of Jorge's pals..
