 * As for the Nones, it was thought that the multitudes should avoid mass meetings then because after the kings were expelled, the Roman people particularly celebrated what they took to be Servius Tullius's birthday: because crowds notoriously thronged all the Nones—it being well-known that Servius was born on the Nones, though the exact month was uncertain—those in charge of the calendar were afraid that if the whole population gathered on a market day it might start to revolt out of yearning for the king, and so they took the precaution of keeping the Nones and market days distinct.

 * [March, May, Quintilis, and October] also have their Nones on the seventh, as Numa ordained, because Julius changed nothing about them. As for January, Sextilis, and December, they still have their Nones on the fifth, though they began to have thirty-one days after Caesar added two days to each, and it is nineteen days from their Ides to the following Kalends, because in adding the two days Caesar did not want to insert them before either the Nones or the Ides, lest an unprecedented postponement mar religious observance associated with the Nones or Ides themselves, which have a fixed date.

Usage notes
English use of the Roman calendrical term always employs the Romans' inclusive dating, including the nones itself when counting. Thus, the "third day before the nones of March" is March 5th: two days before March 7th, not three.

English usage also often follows the Latin contraction of the phrasing, which omits the words. March 5th may appear as the "third nones of March" or the "third of the nones of March". Thus, the "second nones" is the 6th day of the old long months and the 4th day of the other months; the "third nones"  is the day before that; and the "fourth nones" is the day before that. The day before the fourth nones of the old short months is their calends, whereas the four old long months have a "fifth" and "sixth nones" as well.

Nubia

Etymology
The origin of this word is contested. At root it is probably a geographical rather than an ethnic designation. (See ). The related term  was used (with some uncertainty even among the writers as to its meaning) both for a people already living in the area and for those who conquered it in the 4th century CE.

Proper noun

 * 1) The region of the valley of the upper Nile, now part of Sudan (Upper Nubia) and far-southern Egypt (Lower Nubia):
 * 2)  The polity ruling said region.

Usage notes

 * Before the 4th century CE, the region was called Kush. The had long vied with Pharaonic Egypt for local dominance.
 * Writers during the Classical era were often unclear about the extent of the area they called Nubia. The Greeks regarded Nubia as part of Ethiopia, in its archaic, broad sense.
 * The Roman Empire used the term Nubia for the area of Upper Egypt and (present-day) northern Sudan.
