@JoonasIlmavirta Reminds me of the old saying "Latinists never decline sex."

@RetractedAndRetired Hah!
And what about Graecists?
I hear they don't decline an iota, let alone (a) hex.

Does anyone know if the 21st volume of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri is available online (free or for sale) or buyable in a place in the province of Milan? I need it for my Sappho work, related to which I asked numerous questions on Latin.SE…

@Cerberus O, Cerbere! May I ask you a grammar question?
I found a golden bough which allows me to ask.
What part of speech is the word "that" in the exclamation "That you be happy!"

@MickG I really have no idea, but I'll try to Google it too...
@ktm5124 I'd say a conjunction, where the main clause has been long omitted, something like "O, I wish that you be happy!".

@ktm5124 Indeed, that is the only explanation I can think of.
