Hi.

posco crimen
What does this mean ?

+ posco : ask for, beg, demand, desire --- money, mercy, letter, him to drink, him to sing, that he should ...., etc.
+ crimen : a judgment, charge, accusation, reproach, slander / crime, fault, offence

[adrianus]

"I ask for[/beg/demand/desire] a judgement[/decision/verdict]"

[Junya]

Is it a request of advice ?
posco means to request ?

[adrianus]

No, I think it's a request not for advice but for a decision or judgement, from a judge, say, or from the reader.
Non est admonitum desiderare sed crimen seu arbitrium desiderare, e judice enim vel lectore.

Yes, posco means also to request in English.
Ita, et desiderare significat poscere.

I see.
Thank you.
