March 4th, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Ad Kalendas Graecas."
"Ad Kalendas Graecas," sometimes with the spelling "ad Calendas Graecas"
"At the Greek Kalends," "to the Greek Kalends" = NEVER. The Kalends (sometimes spelled Calends) were a feature of the ancient Roman calendar, marking the beginning of a new month. The ancient Greek calendar did not have Kalends, however. So "at the Greek Kalends" was a way of saying "never," since it implied waiting for the Kalends in a calendar that had no Kalends.
a.d. IV Nonas Martias anno A.U.C. MMDCCLXXVI
