The southern side however inclines towards the submerged pole and has other constellations come up in another way. So Diodorus of Samos says, when talking about Hindouk that when going (by ship) to Limirikon one has Tawron in the middle of the sky and Plawda in the middle of Kerea. Then when going to Azania close to the middle of the earth the star Kamabores appears after that one. And in the middle of them Aprotikon. One says still to have observed many other things up to the dry zone to go and meet what is generally known travelling through the Etowpiens, coming from the land of Akisimba about cape Prasum on the route towards invisible underworld coast.........
also Egypt has a river called Nelos which is the Gehon. It originates in the mountains of the moon in the unknown lands of the south........East of there are the Eteowpiens with high heads; and into the interior the Eteowpiens who eat people. There is also a small river called Raptos.........Eteopia had three small regions: Barbarna, Azania and Armolod in the past and 36 provinces of people.
