Is this attested in Classical Latin? Old Latin is a separate language on Wiktionary. —CodeCat 01:17, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Obviously this is Old Latin, but it appears that Cicero used it once (Epistulae ad Atticum 8.15.1.7). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:31, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- There is something that looks like "authemonis" in that letter, but there seems to be some doubt about whether it is "aut hemonis", Greek αὐθήμερον, or a corruption of something else. See the footnotes here: [1]. But I'm no expert. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 17:42, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- @CodeCat, Metaknowledge, Mr. Granger I've added a usage note as a disclaimer. As far as I'm concerned, it may be more valuable to keep the entry so that people can at least be aware of the possible existence of the word, despite the fact that it's merely one of multiple interpretations of a corrupted text fragment. The inflected forms beside hemonis may have to be deleted, though. Anyway, this has been here since the summer of 2015, probably good to settle this one at some point... — Kleio (t · c) 18:27, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
