From adiophoron to zoon -- and back

When Grice was in hospital, Chapman retells, he would joke with wife and daughter, "If you would only spend more time paying attention to your Greek masters, you would understand what my diagnosis is". He would converse on Greek terminology for all his illnesses with the doctor.

And thus, his bed-table book was Peters, "Greek Philosophical Terms: A historical Lexicon". This goes from adiophoron to zoon. Just to have a grasp of the richness of the lingo consider just part of the "A":
