A history of greek mathematics, volume 1, is what I'm reading at the moment. Now there are these quotes and greek words here and there, can you tell me what they mean?

it says "mathmata" and "mathematiks", and its an unusual contraction for both (more usual: mathemata; mathematikos).
it look like the person spelling out the greek doesn't speak much greek, or else speaks a different dialect to attic/koine. they're pretty well defined and mused over in attic.

sorry saged by force of habit, have a bump in case anyone recognizes the dialect
