The Ancient Greek text:

Ηράκλειτος Απόσπασμα 52

‘' αἰὼν παῖς ἐστι παίζων, πεσσεύων παιδὸς ἡ βασιληίη. '’


The English text translation:

Heraclitus Fragment 52

' Eternity is a child playing draughts, the kingly power is a child's. '

Additional Information:
Perlschrift was first used in the 9th century AD and became widely popular between 11th and 15th century AD.
During this time the main characteristics of this Greek script, that is still being used today, were established.
 
The script was called ‘perlschrift’ because the letters combined together in such a way that they resembled a pearl necklace.

Although this style of writing was usually imposed by the copying process (due to lack of time and space, writing tools, the lectern, influence by Latin script, etc…), it seemed to offer a special rhythm to each word, a rhythm which remarkable related to the meaning of the word. Writing this way, the scribe was able to save both time (some words were written without even picking up the pen) and space.

Additionally, there was great pressure to complete and deliver a manuscript as the number of texts to be transcribed was very high, paper was scarce and parchment was very expensive material.
