Although your translation is pretty good as always, I believe some minor edits are needed.
Your translation:
Nulla poena maior est quam invenire quod per res gestas tuas effecisti ne hominem fieri posses, quem vere esse volebas.
-->Nulla poena maior est quam invenire ne per res gestas quas effecisti hominem fieri posses, quem vere esse volebas.
What do you think? | | |
16 April 2012 21:49 | | | I agree! Thank you   | | |
16 April 2012 23:20 | | | Good.
But you know, after deeper consideration, I have a doubt about using "res gestae" here, dear, because these two words mean "achievements" or "career" (especially if they refer to "bellum gerere" - to carry on a war). Meanwhile, according to Anita's brige, there was just about normal "actions"/operations of a man.
Hm, I'd rather stand for "actiones" here, dear Alex. | | |

16 April 2012 23:40 | | | Oh, no, I'm not. I can be wrong too!
You know, since a syntax of the text is a bit complicated and fuzzy, even in English, I would ask Efee to check it out,ok?

Dear Efee,
Could you please have a look at the translation. You have an English bridge by Anita in notes.

17 April 2012 08:18 | | | Hi dear Aneta and Alex!
I agree with Aneta's second suggestion ("per actiones"  and I think the syntax is ok. Well done, Alex!
| | |
17 April 2012 15:42 | | | Ok! Thank you both | | |
17 April 2012 20:08 | | | Thanks, Efee!
By the way, I really miss your help... |
