I would like the latin translation of this phrase:

"I was once that which you are, and what I am you also will be."


Or if you would be able to see how it was originally wrote in Masaccio's painting of "Holy Trinity" >> http://artchive.floridaimaging.com/m/ma ... rinity.jpg


Thanks!!

The phrase on this pics is: "Io fui già che voi siete e quel ch'io son ancor sarete".
Masaccio was living in Florence (Italia), so I think that this phrase was wrote in italian or florentin.

Hi!

I was told it was Quod tu es, ego fui; quod nunc sum, et tu eris.
And the source said that as far as he knows Masaccio was quoting.
