Dear Goncin,

I think, the sequence of the sentence between the comma's should be turned round a little:

'through whom the truth speaks'

Would you agree on that?

jollyo,

I really don't know. I'd rather this issue to be solved by an English expert, and other people to give their opinions only after a poll has been set, if the expert thinks so.

Best,

jollyo is right about the word order, and the commas should not be there.

What does "disertus" mean? If it is a noun (the eloquent one), then the sentence should probably be something like this:

It is enough that the one through whom the truth is spoken be eloquent.

Kaf,

"Disertus" means "eloquent" indeed, but the "enough" thing has the sense of "speak only as much as necessary", for which I still think it should go at the end.
