    Tonight 8pm ET - Vatican Sayings 78 & 79!

    Open to Level 03+ members and Level 01 by pre-approval of the moderating team.

    Agenda:

    1. Welcome
    2. Discuss latest popular forum threads & latest podcast
    3. Discussion on Vatican Sayings 78 & 79:

    VS78. The truly noble man busies himself chiefly with wisdom and friendship, of which the one is an understandable good but the other is immortal. Note 78. See this discussion here for the reason "understandable" is superior to "immortal" as the best translation. Bailey has: "The noble soul occupies itself with wisdom and friendship; of these, the one is a mortal good, the other immortal."

    VS79. The man who is serene causes no disturbance to himself or to another.


    • We will continue with the same Zoom link as previous Wednesday night meetings.
    • Level 03 members who haven't previously attended (and need to get the link) please let us know here in this thread if you are interested in attending or message me.
    • Level 01 members you can message Cassius if you are interested in attending (to be considered for approval by the moderator team).

    *Note: No discussion on the Vatican Sayings on March 20th.

    Upcoming meetings for Wednesday night:

    March 13 - VS 78 & 79

    March 27 - VS 80 & 81

    April 3 - First night of Usener fragments discussion - curated list is here. We are going through the full Erik Anderson list and pulling out those which will best be suited for the zoom meetings, and if you have any suggestions for additions to or deletions from the list please use the comment feature on the page where we are setting this up.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
