I removed the stub notice because the article has been fleshed out some. Hope you enjoy!Jdf8 (talk) 04:56, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't appear to be Biography related, so I have removed that project banner. Rpyle731^talk 07:41, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're having a laugh! In the poem the phrase is "color est e pluribus unus" There's an "a pluribus unum" in Cicero. But it sounds like a commonplace to me, and most likely came from Heraclitus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_pluribus_unum I see they mention that. The point is, the French guy who supplied the Latin may well have known his moretum and used the Latin as a springboard, but no more than that! Vince Calegon 14:24, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Because the claim in the article was unsourced -- or at least did not have an inline citation -- I have removed it. MPS1992 (talk) 21:37, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vince Calegon: just to mention, I also agree with your reasoning that this unsourced claim was also highly implausible. For what it's worth, it seems to have been added by an unregistered editor nearly two years ago. The IP address used seems to belong to a hospital, although this may not be accurate.

I was just about to come in and modify what I said because I thought you might condemn my arrogant tone, so thanks for being understanding. I was going to add that, more likely, the moretum was making a gentle joke at Heraclitus's expense. And in a way, the article may have been right, that ultimately it was deduced from the Moretum that this was how Heraclitus was received in Latin, but it needed to be worded differently.Vince Calegon 14:40, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Can anyone explain why the article does not cover other poems included in the Oxford Classical Text such as the Priapeum 'Quid hoc novi est?' and 'De est et non' etc.? Is it still under construction or is there a reason for the omission? If the former, could a stub at least be left at the bottom mentioning the poems still to be covered?
