das auf dem Nil und in Papyruskähnen über die Wasserfläche Boten entsandte! Geht hin, ihr schnellen Boten, zu der hochgewachsenen und glatten Nation, zu dem weithinaus gefürchteten Volke, zu der riesenstarken und alles niedertretenden Nation, deren Land Ströme durchschneiden:

das Botschafter auf dem Meer sendet und in Rohrschiffen auf den Wassern fährt! Gehet hin, ihr schnellen Boten, zum Volk, das hochgewachsen und glatt ist, zum Volk, das schrecklicher ist denn sonst irgend eins, zum Volk, das gebeut und zertritt, welchem die Wasserströme sein Land einnehmen.

welches Boten entsendet auf dem Meere und in Rohrschiffchen über der Wasserfläche! Gehet hin, schnelle Boten, zu der Nation, die weithin geschleppt und gerupft ist, zu dem Volke, wunderbar seitdem es ist und hinfort, der Nation von Vorschrift auf Vorschrift und von Zertretung, deren Land Ströme beraubt haben.

Che manda messi per lo mare, e in vaselli di giunchi sopra le acque, dicendo; Andate, messi leggieri, alla gente di lunga statura, e dipelata; al popolo spaventevole, che è più oltre di quella; alla gente sparsa qua e là, e calpestata, la cui terra i fiumi predano.
