Chapter 1 Flashcards
Introduction
The intention with this “stack” of “cards” is to give an entry for each word in a chapter of Suetonius encountered for the first time. I.e. it is assumed that the words in one chapter will be learned (more or less) before the student proceeds to the next chapter.
An rough indication of the frequency of a word in Latin (according to the Dickinson College Core list) is given by asterisks: five for the 100 most common words, four for the second most common 100 words etc; one asterisk meanns that a word is somewhere between 400 and 1000 on the list.
Students are urged to pay particular attention to any word with one or more asterisks, and to learn the principal parts for any verb with an asterisk.
The chapter by chapter listing of words is made possible by Haverford College’s Bridge Program, created by Prof. Bret Mulligan.
