Quas ubi vapor solis accendit, fervido solo exurente vestigia, intolerabilis aestus exsistit, luctandumque est non solum cum ardore et siccitate regionis, sed etiam cum tenacissimo sabulo, quod praealtum et vestigio cedens aegre moliuntur pedes.
When the burning sun inflames these, intolerable heat results and the fiery soil scorches the soles of the feet, and one has to contend, not only against the high temperature and dryness of the region, but also the extreme tenaciousness of the coarse sand, through which, as it is very deep and gives way beneath the step, the feet toil with difficulty.
