Descriptio orbis terrarum 846-850

Original


obversatur item trux Sarmata, bellica quondam
gentis Amazonidum suboles: nam cum prius illae
egissent vasti prope flumina Thermodontis
Threicio de Marte satae, iunxere profectae
concubitus                                                                     

Translation in Greek


Κοντά τους βλέπουμε τους άγριους Σαρμάτες, ένα πολεμοχαρές γένος που κατάγεται από τις Αμαζόνες. Αυτές, οι κόρες του θρακικού Άρη, ενώ πρώτα κατοικούσαν κοντά στις ακτές του απέραντου ποταμού Θερμόδοντα, κατάφεραν να συνάψουν ερωτικές σχέσεις.

Translation in English


Near them we see the fierce Sarmatians, a warlike race descended from the Amazons. These, the daughters of the Thracian Mars, while first dwelling near the shores of the vast river Thermodon, managed to engage in sexual relations.
