Thanks, Querulous – and yes, SOUSES makes much more sense – not sure where SOURES came from, as it isn’t in my eChambers or eCollins…maybe I was a bit SOUSED when I polished off the blog…

Bit late to this one, but thanks to Moordon and mc.

25A is SOUSES, I think.

I hate to quibble, mc, but I think it should be “Et tu, Antoni” – vocative case!

Et tu, Antonius?!
Yes – that probably makes more sense – and as the proud holder of an ‘A’ grade in O Level Latin, albeit XXX-odd years ago, I should have spotted that.
As I said, a busy week, most of which had been spent on the phone with some French colleagues, which is why my tired brain made that connection first…

Thanks, mc. As it’s Tironian, I assume it’s the fact that “et” is Latin for “and” that the compiler was thing of.
