Summary

Description
English: Mirror ambigram ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ (Nipson anomemata me monan opsin, Wash your sins, not only your face) inscribed in ancient Greek upon a holy water font outside the monastery of Panagia Malevi (archive).[1] All the letters are symmetrical vertically, with the N stylized Ͷ in the right part, as a result the sentence is not only a palindrome but also a mirror ambigram, that can be read the same way in either direction. The phrase was firstly written on the apex at the entrance of Saint Sophia church in Constantinople, and is attributed to Gregory of Nazianzus.
Français : Ambigramme miroir ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ (Nipson anomemata me monan opsin, Lave tes péchés, pas seulement ton visage) inscrit en grec ancien au-dessus d'une fontaine d'eau bénite, à l'extérieur du monastère de Panagia Malevi (archive).[1] Toutes les lettres sont symétriques verticalement, avec le N stylisé Ͷ dans la partie droite, ainsi la phrase n'est pas seulement un palindrome mais aussi un ambigramme miroir, qui peut être lu de la même manière dans les deux sens. La phrase a d'abord été écrite en haut de l'entrée de l'église Sainte-Sophie à Constantinople, et est attribuée à Grégoire de Nazianzus.
