It's international book week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence. Don't mention the title. Copy the rules as part of your post.

Ἀλλ' ὧδε, ἦν δ' ἐγώ.

(The even pages just happen to be the untranslated side.)

*pffffft* :P

And what does it saaaaaay?

Mine's from a section called "The Case of the Thieving Welder", but I haven't read it so I don't know if it's a welding torch, a flashlight, or an actually flaming torch!

I believe the Greek corresponds to: "Well, try it this way, I went on."

(I had one of my bilingual Plato volumes out to work on a post inspired by a library book I read, but still haven't gotten very far.)

I assumed it was an actual flame torch, but that's just because I play Thief. :p
