tolemaico

Borrowed from Latin Ptolemāicus from Koine Greek Πτολεμᾱϊκός (Ptolemāïkós) from Πτολεμαῖος (Ptolemaîos), a proper name derived from Epic Greek πτόλεμος (ptólemos), variant of Ancient Greek πόλεμος (pólemos, “battle, war”). Compare Sicilian tulimaicu, Spanish tolemaico, Portuguese ptolomaico, French ptolémaïque.
