What are the units saying in Age of Mythology? For example, when I click on a Hoplite he says "Prostagma". What does that mean?

Is there a resource that has all the unit's quotes for all the races (Greek, Egyptian and Norse) and translated?

"Prostagma?" means "Orders?" in Greek.

I have found a partial list of translations here. It includes most of the common ones.

Someone recently posted one about Norse unit sounds in the Steam Community here:
