Several times while playing hack I've run across rocks, and when I pushed
them aside it said there was an engraving there.  The engraving was always:

        ad ae?ar um

Is this a bug?  If not, what the heck does it mean?

aes = bronze
aerarium = a place where metal is stored

"Ad aerarium" is Latin for "to the treasure-house." If you search, you'll
find a door to a teleport trap to a vault.  (Getting out again is not so
easy.)

You ought to get it installed with an English version - something like
"To ?he ??u?t".
