	:You're quite correct. The Latin is correct here; they should be ''dies fissi''. However, the translation should have been "split days", since they are split between two different characters. I'm sure this is one of those errors that happen when you pay more attention to the Latin than the English, especially in translating.		:You're quite correct.

		+	:''These are always a dies nefastus (N), never a dies fastus (F), dies comitiales (C) or dies nefastus publicus (NP).''
		+
		+	This line is, in fact, incorrect. There are 54 dies religiosi, of which 37 are of ''naturae'' other than ''nefastus''. As a result, it is my official recommendation that this particular line of text be ignored while the Collegium Pontificum corrects the text. -- [[Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Postumianus (Nova Roma)\|Q.
