Quote:if you want to find the latin terms "soliferrum" and "gaesum" (borrowed from Gallic) in a greek text, instead of ?????????? and ??????, I think you'll be always disappointed... :lol:However Livy wrote about both soliferrum and gaesum, but no relation between them.
I am not disappointed at all by the occurence of Latin words in Greek texts, because there are plenty. :wink:
A rather famous example is that of ????????? and ????????????. More to the point, you can read Dioscorides' De Materia Medica to see what I expect from a Greek text which is said to support a synonymy.
Drago?
