Yes. Here's the translation from last night... ------------------------------------------------ Here's what it says, first using the Greek characters themselves, then a transliteration using English characters, then two translations into English, changing the word order into normal English for the second. (BTW, the reason for the parentheses is that I'm filling in the missing letters on those abbreviations of sacred names.): ΠΡΟΣΗΝΙΚΕΝ ΑΚΕΠΤΟΥΣ Η ΦΙΛΟΘΕΟΣ ΤΗΝ ΤΡΑΠΕ- ΖΑΝ Θ(Ε)Ω Ι(ΗΣΟ)Υ Χ(ΡΙΣΤ)Ω ΜΝΗΜΟΣΥΝΟΝ PROSĒNIKEN AKEPTOUS HĒ PHILOTHEOS TĒN TRAPE- ZAN TH(E)Ō I(ĒSO)U CH(RIST)Ō MNĒMOSYNON OFFERED AKEPTOUS THE GOD-LOVER THE TAB- LE TO THE G(O)D J(ESU)S CH(RIS)T MEMORIAL Akeptous the God-lover offered the table to the God Jesus Christ as a memorial 27 posted on 11/06/2005 9:47:56 PM CST by Charles Henrickson (Lutheran pastor and Ph.D. student in Biblical Studies) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 7 | View Replies | Report Abuse ]

Yeah. It says "All your floor tiles are belong to us."
