I fortunately I'm a little more rusty than I would like. I recognize a few words on the image but it doesn't seem to be a verse of scripture. Unless maybe it's from the septuagint.
Any fellow students of koine able to decipher this?

For reference: I see 100, hate, drunk, "seeing that", and then phusis which essentially means to produce.
επειδη ουν η φύσις δίχα ετμηθη ποθουν έκαστον το ημισυ
because nature has been cut off, they each desire half
that's a rough translation though....
EDIT -
It originates from Plato’s Symposium[1] and it can be translated as ‘from the moment nature {man} was cut in two pieces, each piece longs for its other half’.

Ah ok I never read his symposium in any language so that makes sense why it was used. Basically trying to cast Satan as an angel of light.
Thanks a bunch!
