Site Searches Note
Searches for the English and Latin words are straightforward.
Searches can also be done for Greek words. For search purposes all Greek letters have been transliterated to English equivalents without any accents, breathings etc. It is hoped that this makes for greater ease of searching for those who may not be familiar with all the complexities of Greek accents and breathings. The pattern of transliteration is given a little further down the page.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE ACCENTS OR BREATHINGS IN YOUR SEARCH WORDS! FOR THIS PURPOSE IT WILL HINDER RATHER THAN HELP. SO THERE IS NEVER AN "H" AT THE BEGINNING OF WORDS.
WHERE AN IOTA SUBSCRIPT IS INCLUDED IN A WORD THEN PLEASE ADD AN "i" after the vowel in searches.
e.g. λόγῳ = logwi
IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR A PHRASE IT MAY SOMETIMES BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN FINDING PAGES IF YOU USE A + SIGN BETWEEN THE WORDS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR RATHER THAN WRAPPING THE SEARCH PHRASE IN "QUOTES". (This is partly because there will sometimes be note numbers in the midst of phrases.)
IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO "WILDCARD" SEARCHES WHICH MAY BE VERY USEFUL WHEN LOOKING FOR ALL FORMS OF, SAY, A GREEK NOUN. So anthrwp* will find all instances of forms of ἄνθρωπος. It is also possible to put the wildcard * at the beginning of a word - though not in the middle. So it is possible to use a search such as *noia* to look for all instances of words that have νοια in the middle.
Alpha (ά / Α) = a or A
Beta (β / Β) - b or B
Gamma (γ / Γ) = g or G
Delta (δ / Δ) = d or D
Episilon (ε / Ε) = e or E
Zeta (ζ / Ζ) = z or Z
Eta (η / Η)= h or H
Theta (θ / Θ) = th or Th
Iota (ι / Ι) = i or I
Kappa (κ / Κ) = k or K
Lambda (λ / Λ) = l o L
Mu (μ / Μ)= m or M
Nu (ν / Ν) = n or N
Xi (ξ / Ξ)= x or X
Omicron (ο / Ο) = o or O
Pi (π / Π) = p or P
Rho (ρ / Ρ)= r or R
Sigma (σ, ς /Σ)= s or S
Tau (τ / Τ)= t or T
Upsilon (υ / Υ)= u or U
Phi (φ / Φ)= ph or Ph
Chi (χ / Χ)= ch or Ch
Psi (ψ / Ψ)= ps or Ps
Omega (ω / Ω)= w or W
This scheme will sometimes result in slightly strange combinations of "Thetas, Phis and Chis" with Etas where an "h" might stand both for the "h" in Theta etc. and an Eta in the next letter. Nevertheless I hope that this scheme is reasonably satisfactory.
Sometimes you will find EN1, GN1, LN1 etc. embedded in items of text found by the search engine. This indicates that the text which follows is in English Note 1, Greek Note 1, Latin Note 1 etc on the referenced page. This should help you to locate it in the text.
