The scroll reads: "Greece was first called Hellas, then took its name from Greco, its ancient prince...It later expanded and had the Ionian and Aegean seas as its limits. In the scientific studies and in the most noble arts it exceeded all nations, and in military valour it was inferior to no one before the greatness of the Roman Empire, and it dominated many parts of Asia and Europe."
