Thread: Incorrect Latin Office Names in EB

    Default Incorrect Latin Office Names in EB

    Just something that I wanted to give notice of but always forgot to .

    Tribunis Plebis should be Tribunus Plebis. Same with all "Tribune" translations to Latin, the correct word for "Tribune" is always Tribunus, us. "Tribunis" is a word that does not exist but is easily mistaken with the correct one on the web, on my particular experience.

    Same with Tribunis Milita, the correct wording would be Tribunus Militum. The description names them correctly, weirdly. As for the plural of "Tribunus", it would be identical to the singular, but given the fact that the 4th declension (to which the word "Tribunus" belongs) was often used interchangeably with the second, then the use of "Tribuni" for the plural is not IMO wrong.

    "Senatore" is an Italian word (from the vulgar "Senatore(-i)"). The correct would be "Senator", plural "Senatores".

    The rest is correct. If you want any sources, here is a handy online Latin dictionary though I use my own papers here.

    Cheers

    Tribunus Plebis and Tribunus Militum have already been fixed; the corrections will be available in the next release.

    I've been suspicious about "Senatore"; thanks for your help there. That may not make the next release of EB though.

    It's a minor issue. I corrected my files myself in a few minutes, but glad to know it was officially addressed.

    BTW good to see your work is progressing well. I can't wait for EB II.
