I'm looking for a translation of "Seek the evidence" into latin, and I don't quite trust the online translators. Can someone help me out with this?

By the way, all the free translators I've tried said "Peto testimonium". Is that right? Or right enough, at least?

@tin sword arthur,
Depends on how right is right enough.

That means "I seek the evidence". Automated Latin translators generally
give you the first person singular active indicative. I think you want the
imperative.

Pete testimonium (If addressing one person)
Petite testimonium (If addressing more than one person)

Personally, I'd use quaere (or quaerite) since peto is usually used in the
sense of aiming at or striving for.

@George,
Haha

Okay, thanks for the heads up George. It was to satisfy myself and a friend's curiosity, but if either of us ever decides to get it tattooed on us somewhere we'll be sure to check it out with several other sources.
