Ich hab “nervt das” gelesen, bevor ich deinen titel las… man liest also das schwarze “nervt” zuletzt. Interessant!

It reads “demokritos”. I’ll leave it to someone else to link to his wiki page, since i am on my phone and can’t handle it…

I’m not sure about the first and second "s"es, but the third is an “ß” (es and zet) that is still used for a sharp s sound following a long vowel… it’s still in use, for example in “Straße” (street). The second “t” is a “tz” which is also atill in use in words like Katze (cat).
