IPA: /ad kaˈlen.daːs ˈɡrae̯.kaːs/ [Classical], [äd̪ käˈɫ̪ɛn̪d̪äːs̠ ˈɡräe̯käːs̠] [Classical], /ad kaˈlen.das ˈɡre.kas/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [äd̪ käˈlɛn̪d̪äs ˈɡrɛːkäs] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) Forms: ad kalendās Graecās [canonical]
Etymology: Attributed by Suetonius in Lives of the Twelve Caesars to Caesar Augustus. The kalends (also written calends) were specific days of the Roman calendar (the first of the month), not of the Greek, and so the “Greek Kalends” would never occur.
