E pluribus unum, Latin for "Out of quite a few, one", is a motto requested by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere (originally Pierre-Eugиne Ducimetiиre) and found in 1776 for the Seal with the United States, along with Annuit cњptis and Novus ordo seclorum, and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782.[1] The phrase is similar to a Latin translation of a variation of Heraclitus' 10th fragment, "Out of all issues a person, one particular out of all things." A variant on the phrase was applied in Moretum, a poem attributed to Virgil but with 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 with the phrase, ex pluribus unum, in his Confessions. In the time in the American Revolution, the exact phrase appeared prominently within the title page of a common periodical, The Gentleman's Magazine,[2][3][4] which collected content articles from many sources into one "magazine".
