This is what follows under a history of the name Davi or Dovi and is a succinct summary history of the family. This sort of summary is customary for histories associated with family crests or heraldry.

I was under the impression it might have been a latin expression under a family crest but realzied as soon as I saw it that it was a recitation of family nobility highlights. =Peter=
