Can any Greece speaker tell the names of the following books in English with their meanings:?

Περίόρών; Περίπλους’ Ασίας; Περιήγησις; Περί τών κατά τήν’ Ασίαν Φόρων (please also refer to: http://www.ancientlibrary.com/greek-lit/... These are the alleged writings by Ctesias but seems nobody has much knowledge about them! Very appreciated!

Can any Greece speaker tell the names of the following books in English with their meanings:?
Περιορών = (if this is the correct spelling) Looking around, surveying


Alternatively, "Περί ορών" (two words) might be a variant form meaning "About mountains"


Περίπλους Ασίας = Voyage around Asia


Περιήγησις = Tour


Περί των κατά την Ασία Φόρων = On the Persian revenue system.





The first three are geographical works, whereas the last is part of Ctesias of Cnidus extensive treatises on the Persian Empire. The accuracy of most of Ctesias' works (and especially the latter) were considered controversial even in antiquity. None of them survive to the present day, except in fragment form.
Reply:I would not put much stock on what Ctesias has written or what's left of his "work". He was not held in high esteem from his contemporaries. Having said that, one may deduce that he was "correct" and unpopular because of it.
Reply:Well let;s see....





Περιορών = observating,looking around


Περίπλους Ασίας = a trip around Asia


Περιήγησις = Trip,tour(with the meaning of a guide or sth)


Περί τών κατά την Ασίαν Φόρων = for the Asian revenue system





The first three are sth like geographical books and but the last one talks about Satrapes and so on... the "revenue system in Asia"





Hope I helped you

Can you tell me the name of a book or website that tells the meanings and orgins of well known expressions?

For example


"A stitch in time saves nine."


"Let sleeping dogs lie."


Etc.


Thanks.

Can you tell me the name of a book or website that tells the meanings and orgins of well known expressions?
i think if you want a reputable source (since a lot of this stuff can be made up), i'd suggest trying the Oxford English Dictionary (there's an online site, but you have to pay for it). Instead try a library.





as for ones that could very well be true but aren't backed up by much, try

http://www.idiomsite.com/

Reply:Bartlett's Quotations seems to be what you're looking for... if you want to search on yahoo for "origin of famous expressions", you'll find some websites, but who knows if they're reliable. Here's a link to Bartlett's on Amazon - see if it's what you're looking for.

Reply:I often find those answers on Wikipedia, or at least a good place to look for more "reliable" sources.





Also a good place to check is the general reference section of your favorite bookstore, sometimes they'll have books about things like that.

How can I mix different words to make a name which has the combined meanings of the "ingredient" words?

For example, let's say I wanted to make a name (as in a name one would give to a person) by combining two or more different words, so that the name had the all the meanings of each word combined (perhaps into a phrase) and have a few letters from each word? Is there any sort of program which can do this?





Thanks

I think I know what you're looking for, but I've never been able to find a generator that did exactly that. Making do with what is available depends on how you are going to use the names or words you come up with.





You might be able to find a word scramble generator that will let you enter parts of words and produce a list of combinations, but you will have to approach it as though you are creating a puzzle. A domain name generator (like the one below) might let you play with parts of words a little, but to a limited extent. I'd also recommend trying unique baby name generators (on sites for expectant parents), or, better yet, one that is meant to help writers or rpg fans make up character and place names; any of those might have generators or combination techniques that can help.





Really, the easiest way to play with custom combinations is by hand. Just write out parts of the words you're considering on little slips of paper and mix them up. Say them out loud and keep moving them around until you find something that sounds good to you. It's easy, quick, free, and might be just the thing to help you think of what you want.





Once you have some combinations that you like, it's time to do some research. Look in dictionaries for similar words. Enter them in search engines. See if they're similar to an unfamiliar term, or mean something in another language. See what's out there!





If you're really concerned about keeping the meanings of the words you combine, make sure you understand their etymological roots. I hope you find what you're looking for! :)

I need a list of assassins names and their meanings.?

The assassins were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing. Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers, it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish. Hence, the name for the secret order as a whole, ¡ašš³šºn, “hashish users.” After passing through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in 1603 with reference to the Moslem assassins.

I need a list of assassins names and their meanings.?
Unfortunatly assassins usually have normal names. Lee, John, etc.

Do the meanings of your first and middle names complement eachother?

I don't think they have to. When I'm old enough to have kids, I'll probably end up giving them family names - but my parents sort of went for it. They picked two kinds of virtuous qualities they were hoping I'd personify - so my names mean "pure, unsullied and clear" and "angelic". Hehe....





Ok, maybe those don't comepletely tie in with eachother - but how about yours?





Do you have a name like Leon Richard - making you a powerful and brave lion? =)





Or maybe your names spell out a pretty phrase - like Autumn Skye





Whether they were meant to be that way or just happened to





If there's no obvious relationship, maybe you could find out what they mean for fun, and make up your own connection

Do the meanings of your first and middle names complement eachother?
I can't find my name Westley (WEST-lee) in most books. The similar name Wesley means 'from the west field', and my middle name Trent seems to mean 'thirty'. I can't think of anyway they connect. I also saw Trent with the meaning 'gushing waters'....





So I guess if you put 'from the west field', and 'gushing waters' they can connect to mean I flooded a field? Lame!
Reply:My first and middle names are both from the Bible. Abigail Josephine (Josephine is a feminine form of Joseph).


But I don't think that was intentional. My parents just like Abigail and Josephine was my great aunt.





My dad wanted to name me Applebee though. Like the restaurant.
Reply:Yeah...my name makes no sense. It mean "Most beautiful" (aww thanks mom and dad) and the middle is " Tribal Name of the Gauls", which I really hope is wrong... cause that's kinda ugly





Maybe I'm an extremely beautiful Gaul warrior? That makes no sense. Booo. Nice Ouran avatar though. I love Kyouya!



Reply:Tracey is a variation of Theresa and means "late summer"


Lynn means "ruddy-complected"





Um... okay then. Nope, my name makes NO sense.
Reply:My first and middle names mean Wild Mercy... oh, thanks mum and dad. I'm not exactly wild, so there's no need to have mercy. LOL ;p
Reply:"bitter star" and "weary"





Not really, though they're both negative.
Reply:Well, mine is Amber Dawn, so kinda. Yeah the dawn is an amber color!
