Ok, this post is regarding the letters on Chishio.jp which we are currently trying to translate, the NPC's on BloodCopy said "Thats the only thing left that no one has deciphered."
Update: I no longer believe the letters are relevant now that we've made it into the forums. However I will keep this information here on the off-chance that they might be.
Letter 1 - Akkadian90% sure this is Akkadian Cuneiform, unfortunately this is all we know about it right now. 99.9% Sure this is Akkadian, see below for my translation progress.
Letter 2 - Hieratic?
50% sure this is Hieratic.
Letter 3 - Punic?
40% sure this is Punic, it sure looks like it...(See this link)
Letter 4 - Ugaritic
100% sure this is Ugaritic, it has been confirmed by NPC's on BloodCopy, as well as by a professional linguist who had this to say:
Updated:
nms*z (possibly a name, probably pronounced "Nimitsz")
zrh_ => scatter (if zrh and like Hebrew)
h*dt_ => new
mcn => like an eye
h*dt_ => new
lcbdt => to a slave
cln
cd [until]
clm [eternity]
That's all we've got so far, post a comment here or leave a message over on the UnForums if you have more info!

For letter 3. Either look for a word-for-word translation by the one who deciphered it or compare the pic to the english text then use that to fill in the blanks.
Hope it helps! Good luck!
