Axis.
There seem to have been a few crossword clues in History today and Ed had to move some. I wonder if there's a glitch on AB?

[Buenchico]

Adagia:

The Adages of Erasmus?

[scorpiojo]

Ignore that^

[humbersloop]

Yes, Grimsby, probably Grimmor's By - we have a lot of Bys, or places, round 'ere
The Erasmus work is Adagia
Ebor
Axis

Thank you - I did post this on history ' cos its answers should be history based.

?D?G?S

…..if the answer is GRIMSBY the 'S" doesn't fit the answer adagi"A" the "a'would have to be an "s"

[Buenchico]

So Scorpiojo was right (as always!). See above ^^^

[factor-fiction]

Adages may be okay as that looks more like an English title

[factor-fiction]

Oops- too late

[Suetheramble]

Thank you - I'm going with scorpiojo
