Summary
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. 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.
