Аз не шикалкавя, но за разлика от някои хора знам как се работи с текстове. Гледа се не едно изречение, а по възможност целият текст. Ако те мързи - поне една-две страници преди и след съответния пасаж. Та това, дето ми го даваш като извод, е в потвърждение на казаното по-горе, включително и за Тапробане.
Ето целия пасаж в логическата му цялост, за да има мир
Ще добавя, че всяко от изреченията, описващо различните области и народи, в гръцкия текст започва с една и съща думичка (homoios, т.е. също така), кой знае защо преведена на английски по няколко различни начина.
For the Christians who were at one time persecuted by the Greeks and Jews have conquered, and drawn their persecutors over to their own side. In like manner we see that the Church has never been destroyed, but that its adherents have been greatly multiplied, and that similarly the whole earth has been filled with the doctrine of the Lord Christ, and is still being filled, and that the gospel is preached throughout all the world. This I avouch to be the veritable fact, from what I have seen and heard in the many places which I have visited.
Even in Taprobane, an island in Further India, where the Indian sea is, there is a Church of Christians, with clergy and a body of believers, but I know not whether there be any Christians in the parts beyond it. In the country called Male, where the pepper grows, there is also a church, and at another place called Calliana there is moreover a bishop, who is appointed from Persia. In the island, again, called the Island of Dioscorides, which is situated in the same Indian sea, and where the inhabitants speak Greek, having been originally colonists sent thither by the Ptolemies who succeeded Alexander the Macedonian, there [179] are clergy who receive their ordination in Persia, and are sent on to the island, and there is also a multitude of Christians. I sailed along the coast of this island, but did not land upon it. I met, however, with some of its Greek-speaking people who had come over into Ethiopia. And so likewise among the Bactrians and Huns and Persians, and the rest of the Indians, Persarmenians, and Medes and Elamites, and throughout the whole land of Persia there is no limit to the number of churches with bishops and very large communities of Christian people, as well as many martyrs, and monks also living as hermits. So too in Ethiopia and Axom, and in all the country about it; among the people of Happy Arabia----who are now called Homerites----through all Arabia and Palestine, Phoenicia, and all Syria and Antioch as far as Mesopotamia; among the Nubians and the Garamantes, in Egypt, Libya, Pentapolis, Africa and Mauretania, as far as southern Gadeira, there are everywhere churches of the Christians, and bishops, martyrs, monks and recluses, where the Gospel of Christ is proclaimed. So likewise again in Cilicia, Asia, Cappadocia, Lazica and Pontus, and in the northern countries occupied by the Scythians, Hyrcanians, Heruli, Bulgarians, Greeks and Illyrians, Dalmatians, Goths, Spaniards, Romans, Franks, and other nations, as far as Gadeira on the ocean towards the northern parts, there are believers and preachers of the Gospel confessing the resurrection from the dead; and so we see the prophecies being fulfilled over the whole world.
А сега кажи не са ли споменати всички народи? А ако прочетеш оригинала, би разбрал, че северните страни се отнасят само до скитите и хирканите, и след това продължава изброяването, подредено по географски принцип. Естествено, че българите са в Европа, аз да съм казал, че не са? Единственото, което не ми харесва, е даването на малки откъси от текстовете. Защото така, с орязани откъси от подбрани източници, може да се докаже абсолютно всичко - по изпитаната методика на бай Златарски и д-р Ганчо. Само че това вече не е история...
