E pluribus unum, Latin for "Out of quite a few, one", is a motto requested by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere (originally Pierre-Eugène Ducimetière) and found in 1776 on the Seal in the United States, along with Annuit cœptis and Novus ordo seclorum, and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782.[1] The phrase is comparable to some Latin translation of a variation of Heraclitus' 10th fragment, "Out of all issues one, 1 out of all items." A variant on the phrase was utilized in Moretum, a poem attributed to Virgil but with all the actual author unknown. In the poem text, color est e pluribus unus describes the blending of colors into one particular. St Augustine used a variant of the phrase, ex pluribus unum, in his Confessions. At the time from the American Revolution, the exact phrase appeared prominently on the title page of a popular periodical, The Gentleman's Newspaper,[2][3][4] which collected content articles from numerous sources into one "magazine".
