How exactly can I rotate text?

When I just put it up un-rotated - everything is fine:

text {  ttf
   "arial.ttf","(Guess Who)",2,0
   texture { T_Brass_4B }
   scale <4, 4, 1>
   translate <-11.25,-3,-40>
   }

But if I try to rotate with:

text {  ttf
   "arial.ttf","(Guess Who)",2,0
   texture { T_Brass_4B }
   scale <4, 4, 1>
   translate <-11.25,-3,-40>
   rotate < x*10 >
   }

I get a fatal error: Float expected but vector or color found instead. 
Where, when and how can I rotate?

Almost anywhere and anywhen. But not anyhow...

Try "rotate <10,0,0>" or "rotate x*10", instead of giving POV-Ray a 1D
vector the first component of which is a 3D vector...

Happy ray-tracing,
