    I'm watching the 1916 silent movie "Intolerance." The Persians are just about to attack Babylon when an intertitle card reads: "On the walls of my city, I, Belshazzar, defy the enemies of Babylon. Allato! Allato! Allato!" What does 'Allato' mean?

    Question #121236. Asked by serpa. (Apr 27 11 1:50 PM)

    		He is saying "carry me forth" ("deliver me").

    If you read both of these sites, you can deduce from the story what he must be saying by using the dative form of allatus in Latin.
