What do you think of this, I found it..

Kai sy, teknon?
Julius Caesar's last words actually Greek, not Latin, meaning "You too, child?". “Et tu, Brute?" in translation: "You too, Brutus?" appeared in William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar

  • Και συ τεκνον? (Kai su, teknon?) (Gr., "Even you, my child?" – from Suetonius)
  • Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi! (Lat., "You too, Brutus, my son!" – a modern Latin translation of the Greek quotation from Suetonius)
