Sierra_117 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hello to all. For weeks i have been scouring the internet for latin phrases and translations to help me in creating a plaque in memory my father. Which i would then like to affix to a car which i have restored. so far using the world wide web i have this: Pro amor patris mei MCMLXIII - MCMXCVIII Requiescat in pace "Etam in morte, superest amor" Which in lines i believe reads: For the love of father, 1963-1998, Rest in peace, even in death love survives. Am i correct? And if i wanted to add "My hero" to the first line how would that be done? Also i found a phrase i liked the 'feel' of... Bonus meus patri, pro ifinitio may vos sileo in pacis any clues on what it means? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated and put to almost immediate use.

Klingan Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I would very much like to recommend that you talk to a professor of Latin in this mater - things can go very very wrong when translating Latin without proper understanding of the language. I have seen the most dreadful mistakes being engraved, carved and tattooed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
