Calendrical Notes
#10
To-day is the eighth day before the Ides of January (ANTE DIEM VIII IDVS IANVARII), also referred to as the day after the Nones of January (POSTRIDIE NONAS IANVARII). In modern reckoning it is the sixth of January.

To-day is marked F., DIES FASTVS, but see below.

To-day, as with all ''days after'', is a DIES ATER, a black day of ill omen, ''on these days... [we] might not start anything new'' (Varro, ''Latin Language'', Book Six Chapter 29).
Patrick J. Gray

'' Now. Close your eyes. It's but a short step to the boat, a short pull across the river.''
''And then?''
''And then, I promise you, you'll dream a different story altogether''

From ''I, Claudius'', by J. Pulman after R. Graves.
