Milion
Delete. This article states that "The word Milion is the Roman term for the Greek Milos and is mentioned in Mathew 5". As it happens, the alleged Greek measuring unit Milos is a flower of fantasy kriokliai ... 3 diena: trečiadienis arba sekmadienis (432 mylios / 691 km) ..."
 * "1 diena: pirmadienis arba penktadienis (372 mylios / 595 km) Niujorkas - NIAGARos
 * For one of the many pages on the web using this unit of measure go to

.

And Milion is simply the Greek name for the Roman mile, not a separate unit. An entirely misguided concept is not a good starting point, and the rest of the article consists of the usual rktect rants (see User:Egil/Sandbox/rktect). A redirect is not required; Wikipedia is not a Greek lexicon. -- Egil 14:22, 29 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Milion is not the Greek name for the Roman unit because its Latin not Greek.
 * Milion is the Roman name for the Greek unit from which the Roman Milliare is derived.
 * You can raise the issue of what evidence is there that a Greek unit of 8 stadia = 1 (Roman name for it) milion existed?
 * The evidence is that the name the Romans chose for their mile was milliare.
 * In latin the milliare is differentiated from the milion or mylios
 * The Milion or Milos are the Greek units which were the source of the Roman mile.
 * The Greek Stadion was also the source of the Roman stadium.
 * This information comes from Vitruvius a Roman Architect.
 * In his "Ten Books of Architecture he tells us that the Romans got their units from the Greeks.
 * If you read his book you will discover why he says that.
 * Milion is not a misspelling for million, its not a flower,
 * its not original research, its just something you don't happen to know. Rktect 13:09, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Just merge it with million. No harm in picking up a posible speling eror, given how crapy the search engine is. Trollderella 17:35, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
