"Aethiopians" obviously referring to the darkest of the southern Sudanese. Snowden also references Philostratus as alluding to a gradient of color seen among inhabitants on the border of Egypt that's intermediate between Egyptians and "Aethiopians". Of course without the natural response of interpreting this as a subtle nuance in skin complexion he interprets it as a "mixture" of different races. All the while extrapolating his concept of "moor" to all those who fit within the lighter range on the color scheme. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
