Sorry, Scaevola: I don't have a Latin lexicon in the office that I am borrowing. I'll print this out and try to figure it out when I get home. Something ...
Flavii Crispii: You said that you might be interested in selling your copy of M.C. Bishop's Lorica book? I'm interested in buying. It would obviously be a...
