Hello!
So, you need the translation of the words "surrounding" and "system"?
In ancient or modern Greek?

:) he said "antic" in the title.

For "system" the etymon σύστημα could be used (as political, philosophical system, e.g. by Plato).

For "surrounding" it is hardier to find ONE translation. Which acceptation do you need ?

In both case, a few context or explanation would help us.

:P this is modern greek ! Our guest asked for antic greek. Anyway, without having a context from Andrej, I cannot say anymore (whereas a part of it could be "adapted" into classical greek, by adding some "nu" letters to neutral words ;) ; "to sunolon" "system, totality" is in Aristotle's Metaphysics, but I doubt whether a ancient Greek person would have understood those modern concepts.
