"Arepo the Sower holds the wheels at work."? I don't think so. Opera is plural, works, and nominative, vocative or accusative. Nominative won't give you any sense, vocative not much better. Accusative makes most sense, which would put it in apposition to rotas: "holds the wheels, his works". Peter Jackson 11:07, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, I will change this. I don't speak Latin myself so I was basically copying from the references. Thanks for the correction! Joseph Krol 15:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
The Sator square is not a game at all. It would deserve its one article but is a very difficult topic (because its origin and meaning are not known but can only be conjectured). It needs an author who knows the literature about it. --Peter Schmitt 00:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
