Yes Venator, not Viator. My only latin is of the porcine variety,
so it's not surprising I remembered it the nefas way.


Viator (traveller) in the first edition.


That say you learn something new every day. It's not true except in
the most trivial sense.

This, however, is VERY interesting! Never before came across a
reference to name changes in later editions. So, was it just the
name? Or was the dialogue changed to suit?
