Dear list members;

As Hirtius once wrote: "cum cotidiana mea recusatio non difficultatis
excusationem, sed inertiae videretur deprecationem habere," which loosely
translated is "better late than never." My thanks to all, especially
professors David Lupher, David Meadows, and Terrence Lockyer, who helped me
to understand the Roman calendar. I also received a very interesting
response off-list. I am not at liberty to divulge its contents, as the
professor in question is preparing an article; suffice it to say that it is
worth waiting for.

Macrobius' Saturnalia, 1.15 was mentioned a number of times. Would someone
be so kind as to point me to a good English translation of same? Thanks in
advance.

Mark Joseph
