[Tharseis is what] Isaiah and Ezekiel call Carthage, the [city] lying in front of Libya.[1] Saba [is] the Ethiopian race. But Libyans, who are also called Africans, hold the western parts of the inhabited world, Ethiopians the east and south, Arabs the central land-mass, and the Islanders the middle parts of the sea. These men he said[2] shall fall down in the presence of God. "In the presence of God Ethiopians shall fall down". David [sc. writes this].
