XiniTal av boðum: 1655 | genÃbus nitor = to be down on oneself's knee...
canis = dog...
...

18 September 2007 20:31 | | | I guess that the first word is misspelled and the right quotation should be:
"Genius nititio canis"
'A wise man strikes a dog with the fur'
i.e. If you should have success lick a**.
Makes that sense?

XiniTal av boðum: 1655 | Porfyhr, I don't think that's right.
Genibus nitor is an expression.
It's "The dog on his knees" in my opinion.

18 September 2007 20:52 | | | No problem to find the answer on Google. :
"Kneel down before me dog."
I did a translation and pointed to the fact that it could be misspelled with an extra b.
I supposed the picture had something to do with the quotation.
Anyhow I did a translation that I do not think is wrong.

22 September 2007 18:09 | | | canis is Nominativusor Vocativus, genibus - on knees, and nitito is an imperative form. So this could be
Get down (nitito) on you knees, dog
