The Seven Deadly Sins:
avaritia = greed, avarice
acedia = not in my dictionary
gula = literally throat, metaphorically gluttony
ira = anger, wrath
invidia = envy, jealousy
superbia = haughtiness, pride
luxuria = luxury, extravagance
sloth = segnitia, desidia, ignavia, socordia, inertia
It was towards 400 AD when Jerome gave us the Bible in Latin, so "acedia" could be too new a word for my dictionary. It is a plausible formation from cedo = go, walk hence acedia = not going.

"... (by?) seven main/chief/deadly vices:
Greed, sloth, gluttony, wrath, envy, arrogance, and extravagance/dissipation"
There is only Latin, and I had problems with "acedia", too. It seems to imply "unhelpfulness out of indolence", more than sloth.
And the second word should read "capitalibus"
There seems to be part of the sentence missing.

The Seven Deadly Vices: Avarice, Sloth, Gluttony,ir... because of missed spacing I can't see all the words (Yahoo! is funny that way) All that I can see is in Latin.
