I (obviously...) mean the greek bit.
I've put it into an online translator, but I suspect it wasn't very faithful... I've also given it to my friendly classics student, but she normally takes 2 days to get back to me.
So it will be much faster if you can tell me!
For everyone else, here is the greek:
Jacob - Greek removed as character encoding is messy.
It's got something to do with life and death, but not really sure...
Jacob - After realising this could benefit a few people, I changed the topic. Feel free to elaborate about your signature and what it means.

Haha. Only on Zymic could a topic about my signature be started. Lol.
"Death and life have determined appointments, Riches and honours depends upon heaven and only the gods can judge."

The first sentence is similar to what I got - but the second makes much more sense now! I'll let you know what a third year classicist makes of it... Is it a quote from somewhere? As they might recognise it if it is...
Thanks!
edit: When I posted this, something went wrong with the greek in the posts - but now that NaRzY's posted, we can all look at his signature!

I've found the second part, not that tricky, but the first part is hard... I've looked at lots of rune systems, and can't find anything that I think it could be.
Are the two parts related?
Also, just realised. This thread is going to look very odd if people start changing their signatures...

Ok, explain why you have that for your signature?

I'm afraid you're wrong. They're actually from a religion! The
Thelema religion,
Liber B vel Magi, lines 7 to 10. I agree that the words appear in that book, but they're actually quoting this book...

Well, I have greek origins and that is what I believe.
Only the gods and myself can judge me. No one else matters.

I wouldn't quite go that far... I'm less than half way, as I haven't found those runes yet. And it wan't that hard either, I only used Google! However, google has failed me for the runes... I'm on page 20 of an image search for Thelema runes...

Got it now. It is, semi-literally, your signature!
I'd never have got it without the clue though...

This is a bit of a bump, but...
Just discovered that the original signature that started this is actually Chinese (and that David Beckham has it - I'd never have brought it up if I'd known that...). So why does NaRzY have it in Greek?

That is quite a controversial topic. I found mine in a book my grandfather had and then when I googled to see what else was out there, I also found out it is apparently a ancient chinese proverb that he got from somewhere. Rather coincidental actually. But yea, I left it as that as I do have greek origins and I got it from a greek book.
