| | YEAH, you are right but, if you click on the photo, it links to a bigger photo where you can see all the sentence.
Can you do something with the rest of the sentence?
thanks a lot

| | Hi urisputnik, No, I can't see it bigger, and I can't click on it, as pointer remains arrow shaped, not the hand that means you can enlarge pic by clicking on it. Can you?
And are you sure these two words "fluidisqi" and "expressamag" are in the original text?
|

| | I think it's necessary to see the original text ("genis" is wrong, it should be "genus"; "fluidisqi" could be "fluidisque" and "expressamag" doesn't exist). But I can't enlarge the picture...

| | Thanks a lot Efylove!
Urisputnik, what Efylove said confirmed what I said about the fact we can't enlarge the pic in order to better see the text.
Please, if you ever see better than we can do, can you edit this text? as we can't translate a text that is erroneous and it will be removed. Thank you. |

| | Thanks, I'll try to post a bigger photo, I'm doing my best!
Please don't remove the text!!
Thanks

But I'm sorry, my eyes aren't good enough to figure out exactly what could be written after "express..."
And about the Latin, it is probably New Latin : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Latin
Efylove, could you help us to find out what is written on this pic? I hope you've got better eyes than me...

| | "Genis" is definitely "genus". And it seems that the last two letters of "fluidis.." are similar to the last ones of "expressam.."; it may be the conjunction "-que".
So: "Naphta bituminis est liquidi genus: in mare manat Montibus e Siculis, fluidisque supernatat undis; spongia eam excipiunt nautae, expressamque recundunt ollis, ut varios hominum servetur in usus". |

| | Hi dear.
I would edit with pleasure if it was a text in upper case indeed. Meanwhile it is in lower case.. Only the title is different, but we don't care about titles. Do we? |
| | 16 December 2010 01:16 |
| | I think my eyes become tired. Thought ALL was in upper cases. And you are right. We don't edit titles.
Sorry dear. |
| | 16 December 2010 01:22 |
| | No problem at all. But please do not give overload to your eyes... |
| | 16 December 2010 01:27 |
| | Hi, girls,
Yes, we care about titles and edit them if needed
They are also part of our database, so, they have to be in lower case and in the target language (the two most common flaws I've seen while reviewing the database) |
