Colleagues, can anyone advise you?

This weekend I started working on the manuscript, after the reviewer's edits.

The reviewer suggested replacing my text: "...the apex of the abdomen of specimens was removed and treated with ~ 10% KOH " with "...the apex of the abdomen of specimens was removed and treated with ~ 10% KOH". In other words, put the abbreviation "ca."instead of the tilde.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the meaning of " ca." If it is from Lat. circa (roughly), then it should be "cca."? Is this not a typo? I didn't find an answer in home directories or dictionaries.

I would be grateful for your advice.

Yes, so they write:
ca. from Lat. circa, when they want to say approximately.

Here's a look:

And tilda generally met only in dictionaries as a substitute for the general part of the word.

Thanks!
Funny, in my dictionary "cca."
