ambigram palindrome sentence ΝΙΨΟΝΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑΜΗΜΟΝΑΝΟΨΙΝ (Wash your sins, not only your face, in Greek)
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Α palindromic inscription upon a holy water font outside the monastery of Panagia Malevi (archive)[1]:
ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ (Nipson anomemata me monan opsin).
English translation:~ Wash your sins, not only your face ~ A palindrome is a word or phrase, that can be read the same way in either direction. The phrase was firstly written (in Greek) on the apex at the entrance of Saint Sophia church in Constantinople, and is attributed to Gregory of Nazianzus. All the letters are symmetrical vertically, and the N is stylized Ͷ in the right part, as a result the sentence is not only a palindrome but also a mirror ambigram.Français : Inscription palindromique inscrite au-dessus d'une fontaine d'eau bénite, à l'extérieur du monastère de Panagia Malevi (archive)[1] :
ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ (Nipson anomemata me monan opsin). Traduction : ~ Lave tes péchés, pas seulement ton visage ~
Un palindrome est un mot ou une phrase qui peut être lu de la même manière dans les deux sens. La phrase a d'abord été écrite (en grec) en haut de l'entrée de l'église Sainte-Sophie à Constantinople, et est attribuée à Grégoire de Nazianzus. Toutes les lettres sont symétriques verticalement, et le N est stylisé Ͷ dans la partie droite, ainsi la phrase n'est pas seulement un palindrome mais aussi un ambigramme miroir.Ελληνικά: Καρκινική γραφή ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ, Μονή Μαλεβής Αρκαδίας.
