Gioal,
I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding. My objection has been that the text you adduced to secure your proof does not hold evidence for a "clear synonymy", as you suggested. However I haven't asserted that 'gaisos' in Greek would be something else than 'gaesum' (this seems obvious enough, doesn't it?). If you'd read more carefully my last reply you'd find out I haven't even discussed this word, so why the rolling eyes? I merely disagree with an ad hoc substitution of olosid?ron with whatever specialized noun, and I do hope for better approaches when philological arguments are forwarded and the meanings of words get under debate.
You may well articulate a persuasive proof based on several types of evidence, including archaeological findings. I'm not familiar with this topic (but still, can you expand on the "Boquet 2009" reference? Thanks!), and I have no intention to object to such an elaborate theory.
And one advice, if you don't mind. I don't know about others, but you'll never persuade a reader like me with repetitions. "Different ways" must be ... well, different. :wink:
