Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. I am designing an interpretation (how appropriate!) of the US Great Seal, which bears the phrase "E Pluribus Unum (usually translated as "out of many [peoples], one [people]"). For my variation on the seal, which will be on a tee-shirt and thus will refer to the wearer thereof, I want to use the proper Latin words for "One of the many," in the sense of being one of the many peoples who make up the plural US society. How would I correctly phrase that in Latin please? Again, thank you.
I have no idea, Mara, but love the concept.
Thanks, Joe. The tee-shirt is for a free speech rally in Washington DC on July 4th.
For those of you who wondered, I paid the experts to learn that the correct translation is "unum e pluribus."
