I bow to your expertise on this. As a Brit, I'm rather predictably monolingual. That means almost anything in the story that involves other languages is courtesy of Google Translate, which I know is the lingual equivalent of doing 'research' on Wikipedia! (there's a few moments in this story that use Mandarin and Japanes - I await the inevitable mockery for my errors!) That said, your the translation was always meant to be a little tongue-in-cheek, and your version of it fits that criteria just as well! :)

(But then I have not had Latin for some years now, so there will certainly be more erudite philologists)
