Onasander Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Help, some of you may remember me, I'm the soldier from Alaska who's currently in Iraq. I've been trying to translate Vegetius for a while, but my internet connection is practically non-exsistant most of the time, and extreamly slow to use when it is up and running (took me the better part of the day just to get here). I have a Oxford Latin Minidictionary, but ran out of words in it, and can't order any more dictionaries until the phones are repaired, which is going to be a long while. Furthermore, the internet connection here won't let us download programs, so I can't just download a free dictionary off the net. If any of you know of a couple of good latin word lists on the net, I would really appriciate the links. I despreately need them, cause this is becoming very frustrating. In october of 2007 is when I get back, so I'll show you guys the results of my labor then. Till then, everyone have a good day.

Gaius Octavius Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I do remember you and when many in the Forum wished you well before you left. I am not a Latinist, and this is not a dictionary, but it may help in a pinch: http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~madsb/home/war/vegetius/ Wish for you the very best.

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Unfortunately, getting a Latin list without an actual online dictionary is really hard, considering that Vegetius is like upper level work. However, your best option is to get someone back in the states to buy you the New College Latin dictionary, which has like some odd 70,000 words and phrases(and definitely more comprehensive than that Minidictionary you've got and I know so because I've compared them), at Borders and it is like only "6 dollars." It's incredibly cheap. Oh also, welcome back. Edited December 28, 2006 by FLavius Valerius Constantinus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil61 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Onasander, PM me with your mailing address. I'll spring for a decent dictionary. I've been there, done that in Iraq and it's the least I can do. V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onasander Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks all, specially Virgil61. Check your mailbox. Hey, what's the address for sending checks if you wanna buy one of the Roman maps sold here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
