[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] . a translation is an interpretation by a translator. Wallys version below is similar, my remarks bolded: "Defile the Ethiopians (INSULT TO ETHIOPIANS) they figure the world and with the darkness pouring (THEY ARE DARK) the nations of men to have little parched India (THE INDIANS ARE LESS PARCHED LESS DARK) produce a moderate to the tenor of the middle makes (climate). (THE INDIANS ARE LESS DARK THAN ETHIOPIANS DUE TO A MORE MODERATE CLIMATE) we now draw near the Egyptian, the Nile, Earth and swimming blacken the bodies of more gently watered the fields thereof (climate)." (THE BODIES OF EGYPTIANS ARE DARKENED MORE GENTLY DUE TO THE WATERY CLIMATE OF THE FIELDS) ^^^in meaning, a similar translation . [/QB][/QUOTE]
