I found the phrase "I Celeriter Tempus Deficit" on a patch and I'm trying to learn what it means.
My vague memory of Latin yields a general translation (though I don't know what to think about the word "I") but I'd like to know its precise meaning.
Can anyone help?
thanks,
MTW

I think it could be ii... The prhase would mean:
Go fast, time is short
I believe the imperative singular of ire (to go) is i.
Excellent!
Thank you very much.

Was your "general translation" along those lines?
...indeed,
I was thinking that it was something like "Go fast, time is limited".
Thanks again.

Amazing what remains in the brain!
