Adam, sorry it took me some time to find this link again, but I
think it will help you.

http://www.hungary.com/corvinus/lib/dunay/dunay05.htm#I

The entire essay, if you feel like reading it, is quite educating
and will give you some more ideas but that particular page gives a
list of Greek lexicon in Romanian. If I find anything else I'll let
you know.

Southern Italian, but I might be able to put a couple things
together.

I don't think so. :(
