Aischylos fragment 300 TrGF

γένος μὲν αἰνεῖν καὶ μαθὼν ἐπίσταμαι
Αἰθιοπίδος γῆς, Νεῖλος ἔνθ’ ἑπτάρροος
γαῖαν κυλίνδει πνευμάτων ἐπομβρίαις,
ἐν ἧι †πυρωπὸν μηνὸς ἐκλάμψας φλόγα†
τήκει πετραίαν χιόνα· πᾶσα δ’ εὐθαλής                           
Αἴγυπτος ἁγνοῦ νάματος πληρουμένη
φερέσβιον Δήμητρος ἀντέλλει στάχυν.

I know also having learned to praise the race of the land of Ethiopia, where the seven-flow Nile with the winds’ addition of rains revolves the earth, in which †shining forth the month’s fiery flame† melts snow from rocks; and filled with holy flow, all of flourishing Egypt makes the life-bringing corn of Demeter rise.
