I got 6 pages of philosophy from an Old Gentleman that I met several years ago and am now only getting the time to read it, so I figured this was a good enough forum to ask questions in relation to said script.

Trivium is the liberal arts of ancient in medieval times consisting of Grammer, Rhetoric, and Dialectics.
Dialectics is is a form of searching for an answer used in ancient and medieval learning institutions. It's a question followed by a counter-questions. Thesis and counterthesis. Socratic Dialouge is an example of dialectics.
I don't know of Expiatory. Expiation is like attonement or compensating for a wrongs
Delphic. There was an oracle at Delphi in ancient Greece for the God Apollo.
