That being said, I've studied Ancient Languages fairly extensively and worked assisting on translating many texts in Ancient Latin & Greek while I was a Teacher's Assistant for Master's level classes at a University in Southern England.

I'm sorry if I come off 'snobbish'. I am by far not the authoritative answer to this question. I just thought my input might be of interest.*

*Your mileage may very well vary. Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate. Under no circumstances are the tags to be removed except by the purchaser. Warning! Do not attempt to put small snakes in your nose. I think that bloody well covers it.
Thanks. That is the translation I/ve decided to use.
