Charles Curteys who died on 2 July 1866 Explanation: Kal. Quint. is for Quinto Kalendas, but in the sentence is missing the month. It should be "Kal. Quint. Julii". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2009-04-16 19:01:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, it is "who died on 27 June 1866". When posting my answer I had in my mind the date of burial. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2009-04-16 19:04:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Quinto Kalendas Julii = 27 June |

To Charles Curteys, who died 27 June, 1866 Explanation: Hi, first: Carolo Curteys means To Charles Curteys, who died... Carolo is in dative. This is the more important part in my post, because nobody has yet noticed that. V Kal. Quint. means the 27 June, this form (without the a.d. abbreviation) was common even in the ancient times and Cicero used it in his letters: examples from ad Atticum VII.: ...sed cum haec scribebam v Kalend.,... VI Kal. vesperi Balbus minor ad me venit... ego xiii Kalend., cum eadem lucerna hanc epistulam scripsissem qua inflammaram tuam,... In the middle ages, this form without a.d. became dominant. Péter |
