There are two phrases on page 52 in Lives of Eminent painters by Vasari.

Κύπρις δὲ, Θεὰ Κύπρις, ἶσον ἔρασθαι ἀλλάλων.

Δατὼ μὲν δοίη, Δατὼ κουροτρόφος ὔμμιν εὐτεκνίαν.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you, Rosie

Hi Rosie,
not sure it's good advice, but maybe you could post again on viewtopic.php?t=40285 to get help?

Not 100% sure, some unknown words for me too. But I hope it helps :D
Have fun!
