Besides... if you're correct, why would he be speaking Greek in a moment of great excitement? He was Roman. Despite my ability to speak it, I wouldn't be shouting out Latin or Spanish if I got stabbed... I'd most likely be yelling in English if at all.
I think he probably died with an "Umph"... "Arggghh"... or "Ouch... That really Hurts!" (translated from the Latin, of course  )
If you have differing info, please cough up a source... I'd be interested in reading it since it'd contradict the views of a handful of lectures I've attended. I'd find the logic behind using Greek the most interesting.
