Aethiopiae autem partes praetermeans Nilus nominum diversitate decussa, quae ei orbem peragranti nationes indidere complures, aestuans inundatione ditissima, ad cataractas (id est praeruptos scopulos) venit, e quibus praecipitans, ruit potius quam fluit: unde Atos olim accolas usu aurium fragore assiduo deminuto, necessitas vertere solum ad quietiora coegit.
But the river, flowing through the regions of Aethiopia, and going under various names, which many nations have given it in its course over the earth, swelling with its rich flood, comes to the cataracts, which are steep rocks, from which it plunges headlong rather than flows; for which reason the Ati, who formerly lived nearby, since their hearing was impaired by the continual roar, were forced to change their abode to a quieter spot.
