Itaque quod est spatium proximum imo cardini ab axis linea in meridianis finibus, sub eo loco quae sunt nationes, propter brevitatem altitudinis ad mundum sonitum vocis faciunt tenuem et acutissimum, uti in organo chorda, quae est proxima angulo.
Therefore if we take the region in the south which is nearest to the lowest point, the nations which are under that quarter, have vocal sounds which are thin and very shrill, because of the small height towards the limit of the universe, like the string of the instrument which is next to the angle.
