      Ancient is based on Latin...and vise versa...I'd say if you know latin you can translate

        From what I know of latin I think I can translate...

        "Truth shall be (Videri esset)...et (and) sidera (no idea :-p) ex uno (from one)
        omnis (all)

          IT IS LATIN FOR SURE. That guy Tomin translated the last latine phrase: from one all we will learn (i think he said so) and the Prior had said previously: ex uno...omnis (i think so either).

          Furthermore, there is certainly some latin words here: "videri esset"
          now "videri" is the passive form at present infinitive of the verb "video" that means "to see". So videri would be "to be seen". but i think is some kind of periphrastic construction here due to the verb "esset" wich is the verb "to be" at perfect subjunctive. i can't make out the rest since the americans and english speakers in general have such a funny way of pronouncing latin sounds.

              well, it's not so complicated.
              i figured out the following
              1) "videri esset"- is to be seen, shall be seen
              2)"et sidera"- and the skies
              3)"ex uno"- from one
              4)"omnis"- all

              maybe someone can figure out the rest, hopefully.

                  i've identified one other latin word: "voltus" or "vultus" that means "face", "countenance", when the prior says :"et terrarius et sidera toleret vultus"(i don't know for sure if that is the transcription)

                      i don't understand those priors when they talk in English. besides priors say only one thing (in many ways). "Follow the Ori or Die"

                        Could someone clue me in-- why do the Ori speak Latin, of all languages? I mean, what is the Ancient Language/Earth Latin connection? Seems kind of weird. Did the Ori originate in the Roman Empire 2000 years ago, or something?

                          The Ancient language was an influence on early Latin. And the Alterans and Ori were originally the same race, so it makes sense that they speak the same language.
                          Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now your revelations
                          Cut me in, I don't wanna live without your revelations.

                            never mind that. we still haven't figured out what the prior said. it was pure latin not Latino-ancient or ancient-latin.

                              Okay. Just seems odd because Latin is just the one branch in a whole family of related languages called Indo-European, that includes such diverse languages as Celtic, German (English belongs to the same Germanic branch of Indo-European as German), Latin (parent language to French and Italian, among others), Iranian, Hittite (dead language), and Sanskrit (dead language). I was just wondering if there was a good story behind it, or if it is one of those "just because" things that one shouldn't think too much about.
