Omnis Gallia all Gaul divisa est is divided in partes tres into three parts, quarum of which Belgae the Belgae inculunt inhabit unam one, etc.
Look out for it on the Textkit site.

Episcopus - I found the Perseus site word lists rather hard to use - they don't seem to have a filter to give the words in order in the book and get rid of words like "et". I have the program "Words" loaded on my laptop and flick back and forth when I am translating. Of course the big problem is idiomatic phrases and the meaning in context (the word "res" is a good example!) What I'd really like is a simple program to construct my own dictionary as I translate, linking back to the text (NOT MS Word! it is so messy!)

I could write a program that does this for you. What format is the text in? (Ie, how do you want it to link back to the text?)

Well, I'll look forward to this. We will be doing Cicero's Pro Murena next semester at University. Of course this is not a hint or anything, but if it were to slip in ahead of other jobs......

Thankyou,
