Salutem dat plurimam: Gives most health, sends best greetings
Salutem dat, literally 'gives health' as in 'wishes health, gives greetings' as _salutem_ was used as a greeeting. This can be modified by e.g. _multam_ 'much' and our _plurimam_ 'most'.

: David, You are almost right, but it is Salutem DICIT plurimam, and not salutem dat plurimam.
