E pluribus unum, Latin for "Out of a lot of, one", is often a motto requested by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere (originally Pierre-Eugène Ducimetière) and discovered in 1776 around the Seal with the United States, in addition to Annuit cœptis and Novus ordo seclorum, and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782.[1] The phrase is similar to some Latin translation of the variation of Heraclitus' 10th fragment, "Out of all factors a person, a single away from all issues." A variant of the phrase was employed in Moretum, a poem attributed to Virgil but with all the actual author unknown. Inside the poem text, color est e pluribus unus describes the blending of colors into 1. St Augustine used a variant of the phrase, ex pluribus unum, in his Confessions. At the time on the American Revolution, the exact phrase appeared prominently within the title page of the well-known periodical, The Gentleman's Newspaper,[2][3][4] which collected articles from several sources into a single "magazine".
