nam qua Pellaei gens fortunata Canopi accolit effuso stagnantem flumine Nilum et circum pictis vehitur sua rura phaselis, quaque pharetratae vicinia Persidis urget, et diversa ruens septem discurrit in ora usque coloratis amnis devexus ab Indis, et viridem Aegyptum nigra fecundat harena, omnis in hac certam regio iacit arte salutem.
For where the favoured people of Macedonian Canopus dwell by the still waters of the flooded Nile, and sail in painted barges about their fields, there, where the borderland of quivered Persia presses close and the rushing river splits up into seven separate mouths after sweeping all the way down from the swarthy Indians and with its black sands fertilizes verdant Egypt, there the whole region rests its sure hope of salvation upon this device.
