Pantagathus

As you all know I have been completely inactive from the UNRV community for roughly a year and a half. When I say completely inactive, I mean it in the most literal sense. I haven't even kept up with friends that I used to often talk to outside of the site. Specifically Tom Isabella aka 'Gaius Octavius'... He called a couple of times last year when I was completely indisposed and his messages were increasingly distraught in that he felt he had offended me and had lost my friendship. This of course was not the case but for a variety of now seemingly ridiculous reasons I never did return his calls and let him know. I got the note from his wife Jean in late August last year about his horrible trip to ICU where they drained a liter and a half of fluid out of his heart (caused by metastatic adeno-carcinoma) and the loss of his left leg to gangrene because his circulation had pretty much shut down there. I sent my regards to him then and knew that he had made it home (under hospice care) in early September last year but my own family was going through a very rough time then and I did not follow up with Jean about Tom

You bet LW! Hope all is well your way

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to all my UNRV friends. I can't believe it's been over a year and a half since I was active and I deeply regret my profound inactivity. I have been an extraordinarily busy person for quite some time and my beloved hobby has had to take a serious, forced hiatus. If you can believe it I can count on one hand how many books or even articles I have taken in since I've been gone. But, it gives me great joy to see UNRV still thriving (and RtG gone...) and know that as soon as I am able I will be back at it here again. Hope everyone is doing well!

I'll feel Pertinax out as he just recently reappeared on Facebook.

it is a rather striking similarity...

So... Ursus just bowed out?

Hi Nephele, hi PP! Just know that I haven't forsaken UNRV, I haven't gone to another forum or anything... The fates have just pulled me fully into 'real life' for quite a while. I promise to start visiting as much as I can from now on and will try to at least get close to my old activity level...

Are you asking if direct Punic writing exists & not through Greek or Roman translations? The answer is indeed yes in the form of funerary epigraphy, religious & commemorative inscriptions. No direct literature per se but enough extant writing for grammar to be painstakingly pieced together. For what it
