South Sydney co-owner Russell Crowe has responded to criticism over the accuracy of the latin motto on the club's crest. Since the story in last Monday's Herald about how the motto had inspired the Rabbitohs' vast improvement, Sin Bin has been told Runocius servo prosapia liberi primoris was "Latin gibberish". "It's using Latin words, but it's not making any Latin sense," Roger Pitcher, classics master at the Sydney Grammar School, said. "It sort of means, 'Run quickly, as the family of the first part of a child I protect'." Crowe said the confusion had arisen because the Herald story did not contain the correct punctuation. "It is not one sentence, it is three separate sentences. Each sentence is correct," he explained. "We didn't seek to find an old phrase; we sought to find the Latin words that fitted these three modern phrases. I noticed that when the Herald ran it, they didn't use punctuation, but ran it as a complete sentence. That is their mistake, not ours. That would assist in any argument against this phrasing. I wrote the modern English phrases. Keith Rodger sourced the words, then we checked it online with two separate translation services and a third source, it came back to us as correct each time. We have e-mailed confirmations on file, but as we did this over a year ago, it is taking us a little while to find them, including the name of a languages teacher at Riverview College that we had a friend confirm it with. We also asked Armani to examine the phrases and they were satisfied. The words are right; the Herald's punctuation is where the fault lies here. They should sin bin themselves."<BR/><BR/>Is this a crock of shit or true story?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
