Now, just as these Ethiopians on our side of Oceanus, who face the south throughout the whole length of the inhabited land, are called the most remote of the one group of peoples, since they dwell on the shores of Oceanus, so too, Crates thinks, we must conceive that on the other side of Oceanus also there are certain Ethiopians, the most remote of the other group of peoples in the temperate zone, since they dwell on the shores of this same Oceanus; and that they are in two groups and are "sundered in twain" by Oceanus.
Nüüd, nagu etiooplasi meie poolel Okeanost, kes asuvad lõunakaares kogu asustatud maa ulatuses, nimetatakse kõige kaugemal olevaks grupiks rahvastest, kuna nad elavad Okeanose kallastel, nii, arvab Krates, peame me ette kujutama, et teisel pool ookeani on samuti teatud etiooplased, kõige kaugemal teise grupi inimestest parasvöötme tsoonis, kuna nad elavad sellesama ookeani kallastel; ja et nad on kahes rühmas ja on "lõigatud kaheks " Okeanose poolt.
