The Latin is a little off - dictsm should be dictum, and neutron should probably be neutrum (adjective) or neutro (adverb). The meaning is rather unclear.
Blind Appius Claudius is a craftsman of his every fortune, the silent word is neither.
Faber - worker, craftsman
suae quisque fortunae - of his every fortune
Appius Claudius - a man's name
caecus - blind
dictum arcanum - a secret or silent word/command/speech/prediction
neutrum, neutro - neither
est - is

Are you sure of your transcription? "Dictsm" couldn't be Latin, and "neutron", if it is Latin, is obscure.
Edit:
Agree with Jeannie below. Her assumptions for the words are probably right, but I also agree with her that the meaning is not clear. Without knowing the context, there's nowhere to go.

It means to place your scrotum on a table and smash it with a brick.
