Can you give some context.
That does not translate directly.

I know that ab iure means "away from the law", often used in the same
way that we say "outside the law".

The Daci (or Dacians) were an ancient people conquered by the
Romans who lived in what is now called Romania.

George,
Thanks for your response. Here is the context.
The entire phrase is "Heaven, Hell and Human, come together as one. Dacci ab Jura."
I have recently found a reference to "Dacci" in Latin meaning "Give us", as in the Lord's Prayer, and a more obscure reference meaning to invoke or summon. I also found a reference to jura as a person's given name, such as through baptism, as well as the meaning "law." So Dacci ab Jura
could mean "Summon by Name" or could be a reference to something/someone "outside the law." Any thoughts?

Hi both,

Dacci is italian ...

Italian: Dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano
English: Give us this day our daily bread

but ab jura seems latin enough

the phrase doesn't seem right to me
where did you find it?

Confirmed for the Italian part. It seems the phrase is a multilanguage mix.... There's also a Mount Jura I think... somewhere near Syria...

A little context would be appreciated as you all must have this puzzle parts.

Daci - region of Romania
ab - away from, far from
Jura - French mountain

So, Dacya is far from Jura?

And what about an inflected form of "abjurare"?

Dacci abjura...
