This appears to be a hoax; check this search. Erpert (let's talk about it) 19:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I pretty much reached the same conclusion as Erpert, even if it is not a hoax there is certainly no verifiable sources for the guy online --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk) 19:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I strongly suspect it is a hoax, but as gut feelings aren’t objective and entymology ain’t my field of knowledge, would appreciate the input of others who do know something about the subject. --Technopat (talk) 20:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't need to be an etymologist to see that this is made up. It doesn't seem to get any notice, despite it being a "revolutionary work, widely respected and referred to by classicists nowadays" [1]. Pretty dull as hoaxes go. Mandsford 21:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The main thing it claims he is notable for, a book, cannot be found in Google books. Regardless of its veracity, it fails WP:V. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:22, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
