Tattoos and Ancient Greek

[mavrodon]

It seems to say, "Sotiri, my father and friend, rest in peace."
(Σωτήρη, πατέρα και φίλε μου, αναπαύσου εν ειρήνη)

The tatoo is written in capital letters, as follows: ΣΩΤΗΡΗ, ΠΑΤΕΡΑ ΚΑΙ ΦΙΛΕ ΜΟΥ, ΑΝΑΠΑΥΣΟΥ ΕΝ ΕΙΡΗΝΗ

And Tom has the added benefit that we both corrected the spelling of the tattoo. Our sympathies to the family, Tom.

''You can't Walk with GOD, While Running with the DEVIL'' [/b]
and how i can make the font bold or change it?

Here it is in lower and upper case, and bold:
Τῷ διαβόλῳ συντρέχων οὐχ οἷός τ' εἶ τῷ Θεῷ συμπορεύεσθαι.
ΤΩΙ ΔΙΑΒΟΛΩΙ ΣΥΝΤΡΕΧΩΝ ΟΥΧ ΟΙΟΣ ΤΕ ΕΙ ΤΩΙ ΘΕΩΙ ΣΥΜΠΟΡΕΥΕΣΘΑΙ
Τῷ διαβόλῳ συντρέχων οὐχ οἷός τ' εἶ τῷ Θεῷ συμπορεύεσθαι.
ΤΩΙ ΔΙΑΒΟΛΩΙ ΣΥΝΤΡΕΧΩΝ ΟΥΧ ΟΙΟΣ ΤΕ ΕΙ ΤΩΙ ΘΕΩΙ ΣΥΜΠΟΡΕΥΕΣΘΑΙ

for rule 1.4 : I''m sorry but befor i wanted to tattoo with a different sentence and now i changed my mind but thats what i really want and i wont change my mind again.
and for rule 1.5 : I don't think I'm passing the 12 words rule too much with what I'm asking.

anyway it's the final thing i want and I'm having a tattoo in old greek because i have a deep respect for that language. If you can't help and I'm passing my limits then I'm so sorry I didn't know that and I'm so thankful for your help guys.

many thanks and sorry again.

Hi, I'm looking for a Koine Greek translation of "In everything I thank you Lord".  Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to know the translation of "Sooner or later we all dance with the devil", which is a quote from a book I have just read, and the person who said it was an Ancient Greek so I am curious to know how he would have said it.

Thanks

[billberg23]

"Sooner or later we all dance with the devil"

We assume the book you found this in is fiction; it's hard to imagine a real ancient Greek saying it, since those folks didn't believe in "the devil" as we know him.  But let's imagine an (ex-) Christian Greek of the Roman period who might have been able to say
Ἐν χρόνῳ χορεύσομεν πάντες σὺν τῷ διαβόλῳ

Hi All,

I would appreciate some assistance in translating the following quote back in into Archaic Greek if possible? It is a quote from Homer's Odyssey and loosely translated as:

'There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep'

I'm looking to get it tattooed, it would be great if someone could provide it in upper and lower case text?

Thanks in advance,

AL
