It's both Latin and Greek!. My suggestion is that you call a professor of Classical Languages at a college in your area!. I can find it in more than 20 documents, but no translation that makes much sense!. I also ran it through several translation programs and all it tells me is that it's from the old Latin Vulgate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I suspect the original spelling could have been Wandis!.
LeWandis : The Wanderer ! !?
