[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] Nonnus also uses the phrase Indi for the Blemyes of Nubia while others use it for Abyssinia. Iranians used it for black Africans as much as for the people of India who resembled them in complexion whether long haired or not. I think all Snowden says proves that Ethiopians, Indi, Mauros, were all "blacks" regardless of whether they were "Negroid" or not. I don't recall any Romans ever saying "Negro" or "Nigri" meant "Negroid" - or "man with broad flat nose" if that's what "Negroid" is suppposed to mean. It meant simply the black colored man so Snowden is being influenced by his times - just as "Moro" and "Nigri" came to mean black or near black among the Christian Mozarabs in Spain (according to F.J. Simonet who wrote a "comprehensive" account of the Mozarabs) and just as the meaning of "Mavri" has remained unchanged among the Greeks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
