Well - it's certainly on topic!  :-)

this is what I find:
# dict -d moby-thesaurus quit
moby-thesaurus is not a valid database, use -D for a list
No definitions found for "quit"

and:
# dict -D moby-thesaurus

I obviously have a slight problem.  Maybe something to do with 
etc/dictd/dict.conf?
I would guess I have somehow to extract those databases, but 
moby-thesaurus.dict.dz doesn't seem to contain them (or at least I 
haven't found a way to unpack it.  Arc (in KDE) shows only the one file 
within moby-thesaurus.dict.dz
