[The Saucepan Man]

maegnes is my name, i am the the spiders bane.

But that's from the film, right? I remember reading that PJ's resident Elvish expert concocted an inscription for it. But I do not believe that any inscription is ever mentioned in the Books.

And, to make sense, that inscription would have to have been added at Bilbo's request, since I doubt that there was much need for a dagger dedicated to killing spiders in Gondolin. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
