Bio

I am a retired Classicist with 50 years’ experience
at translating, emending, and annotating Ancient Greek and Latin texts,
inscriptions, and papyri into English, Spanish, Italian, and French, and vice
versa, as well as written materials from the aforesaid modern languages into
Ancient Greek and Latin.  I also occasionally work, to a limited degree,
in Lithuanian, German, and Portuguese.  

I have, during the past half century, rendered a
wide assortment of documents, including, but not exclusive of, hundreds of
advertisements and slogans for national and international companies, both
private and public; thousands of college, university, and other scholastic
degrees, generally composed in Latin;  a very wide array of business,
religious, medical, and academic documents, theses, diagnoses, and discussions
in numerous fields; compositions, such as legal indictments, cosmological
theories, and medical and scientific treatises; scenes for American, British,
and Turkish television; social welfare documents; genealogical documents;
commercial promotions and slogans; funerary inscriptions; skits for Disney
theme parks; proofreading of a bilingual Latin <> English dictionary;
consultant on Latin etymology; consultant on Ancient Greek etymology and
phonology; prayers, mottos, and tattoos; Latin translations and
phonemicizations of Latin and Italian words, phrases, and sentences for
language learning calendars; birth, baptismal, and death certificates;
supplementation of Ancient Greek coinage and Latin military inscriptions; Latin
recordings for the first chapters of Caesar’s de bello Gallico and of the first
chapters of Xenophon’s Anabasis for Mango Languages; English translations of
the extant poetry of Alcman, Alcaeus, and Sappho; English translation of the
poetry of C. Valerius Catullus; English translations of the extant fragments of
Heraclitus’ On Nature; English translation of Hieronymus Magius On Bells;
English translation of Johannes Trithemius’ Latin treatise Steganographia:
English translations of Latin medical correspondence between John Clephane,
Gauthier van Doeveren, Amadaeus Emanuel Haller, William Hunter, Johann Gottlieb
Walter, Vicq d’Azyr, et al., dated between 1757 and 1778; proofread,
translated, emended, and devised neologisms for a Latin version of the computer
game Glorie die Römer; Latin translation of a manual for a GPS navigation
system; English translation of Michael Florentius' Latin treatise On
Spherography; analysis of Latin and Greek names proposed for new pharmaceutical
