ArchivesRoman to Greek translation request?
in reply to a message by CheBanana
"The most genuinely Pagan thing ever perpetrated on this Message Board was the Prophet Daividh's incantation of 11/27/2000. It worked like clockwork, having attracted you in this 'lair'."
Daividh has influence with You Know Who. Don't believe Daividh when he credits "Saint Shlomo" (uh-huh) for getting him that great deal on his house... ;)
While I've got your ear (Satan knows what else I might have...) perhaps you can help me out with a Latin to Greek translation? :) I don't know enough of the Greek language to attempt this myself, and it's important that I get it right.
Okay, I'm sure you already know how women's names were constructed in ancient Roman society -- with young girls being given a feminized version of their father's nomen, followed by their father's cognomen in the genitive case. If there were three or more girls born into the same household, they were then given numerical praenomens in order of birth.
What I need is a Greek language version for this naming system. First, I need to know what "Satan" translates to in the Greek, genitive case. (In ecclesiastical Latin it is "Satanis".)
Next, if you would be so kind as to translate the following Latin numerical feminine names for me into Greek...?
Prima ("First")
Secunda ("Second")
Tertia ("Third"... you get the picture)
Quarta
Quinta
Sexta
Septima
Octava
Nona
Many thanks! :)
