SATOR

SATOR has been eluded with mystery since the early times...

The SATOR Square is a word square containing a Latin palindrome featuring the words SATOR AREPO

TENET OPERA ROTAS written in a square so that they may be read top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top, left-to-right, and right-to-left. The earliest known appearance of the square was found in the ruins of Herculaneum which was buried in the ash of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD.

TRANSLATION:The usual translation is as follows:Sator 'Sower', 'planter'Arepo Likely an invented proper name; its similarity with arrepo, from ad repo, 'I creep towards', is coincidentalTenet 'He holds'Opera 'Works', '(cares)', 'efforts'Rotas 'Wheels'

Two possible translations of the phrase are 'The sower Arepo holds the wheels with effort' and 'The sower Arepo leads with his hand (work) the plough (wheels).' C. W. Ceram read the square boustrophedon (in alternating directions), with tenet repeated. This produces Sator opera tenet; tenet opera sator, translated: 'The Great Sower holds in his hand all works; all works the Great Sower holds in his hand.'

(FROM WIKIPEDIA)It is possible to write a horizontal and a vertical 'Pater Noster' with the letters of the sator square, forming a Greek cross. The two As and two Os which remain are then taken as Alpha and Omega. Another claim is that the words are a list of the "mystical names" for the nails pulled from Christ's body. The associations indicate the square may have been a safe, hidden way for early Christians to signal their presence to each other in a city without exposing themselves to persecution. The Sator Square uncovered in Manchester has been interpreted as early evidence for the arrival of Christianity in Britain.
