Coat of arms for Johannes Michael Zahn

Literal translation is something like: “Mediator Jesus (is) for me to live”. The meaning is something like: “For me, Jesus the mediator means life/to live”. There is a similar sentiment by St. Paul in Philippians 1:21.

The last Greek word “zan” might have been intended to be a play on words with the last name “Zahn”.

Obtained from: Front of Michael Zahn: Nachrichten über die Familie Nicolaus Zahn insbesondere die Nachkommen des Pastor Gottlieb Zahn aus Wasserthaleben bei Greußen, Erfurt: self-published, 1934. (Ref. 740) Note on pg. 12 says that this modern rendition is by Franz Ludwig Zahn.
