Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:Cairus" differant

::::Oh yeah, that's just the Arabic for Egypt (Miṣr), which also referred to Cairo at the time. Interestingly that would suggest that William thought "s" (well, ṣ) could be represented by a Latin "c"! Unfortunately the online text of William is from the Patrologia edition, which was actually taken from the 1611 Bongars edition. I would like to see what textual variants are noted in the 1986 edition, which I will check when I get a chance...that sound was often represented in medieval Latin by a "ç" or something like it.

:::::Oh, right, I should have known! One of my sources claims Coptic Ⲭⲏⲙⲓ can be used the same way. I wonder if this ultimately comes from "''of'' Egypt." BTW, [[:en:Coptic Cairo#History]] --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Iustinus|disputatio]]) 03:37, 29 Augusti 2012 (UTC)
