Letters Engraved
But what he could make out of his own knowledge about the language it was “SENICIANE VIVAS IIN DE” boldly engraved on the ring which he could vaguely decipher as “live in God”. But whom did the ring belong to and why would anyone have abandoned it or was the story something else?
Numerous Thoughts
Though he had picked it up from the sand, he was unaware of what he would do. A million thoughts crossed his mind. The thing that was confusing him the most was the cipher that was engraved, for once he thought he should try and find the owner of the ring and tried to read it once more. He too had certain second thoughts in his mind too.
Unable To Discern
Even if the farmer would not be able to discern the code he thought he could still be rich just by selling the ring and it had an intricate design on it and he could get away with as much money as he would ask for. So he put the ring in his pocket and continued working in the field to finish it before the day set in.
Mistakes
It had mistakes but what he could make out of the inscribed words “Seniciane Vivas Iin De” was a commonly used Roman Latin phrase which meant “Live in God.” If the script was so ancient then it was not hard to determine the artifact’s significance. Would the farmer take the pain to find out the truth or will just have his way out?
Amazed By The Discovery
The farmer was amazed to find the piece of the gold in his farms and was least interested in finding out its back story. He thought of all the things he could do with the money if he sold the ring and he knew he would get a high price if he told the people some cooked up story about the artifacts.
Sold It Off!
Decades after the incident, the farmer once was in an urgent need for money so he remembered the ring he had once found in his field and now was searching for a suitable buyer who could give him his fair price of the ring. He then came across a buyer that changed his life by giving him an insane amount.
