[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3047277, member: 88829"]Ancient Greek (koine) - helps to read inscriptions, especially for roman provincial, less for quotes of ancient writers. Latin (useful in reading comments from ancient writers) German (allows access to some modern scholarship) English (native tongue, useful for syntactic matters) These help me when confronted with Punic and Aramaic inscriptions: Aramaic Ancient Hebrew Ugaritic - not strong anymore Akkadian - very weak now Modern Hebrew (don't use it anymore)[/QUOTE]
