Now to any normal reader of English you are making a
claim here that Pliny, in the context cited by you, is
offering evidence to back up your notion that
"Colchis" is located in the area of the Carpathians
rather than in that of the Caucasus. A normal reaction
is to verify your claim. This is done. You are advised
that there is no such statement in Pliny. To which you
respond as above...
My dear Alex, this will terminate our verbal
interplays. I do not wish to be rude and suggest that
there is something wrong with your thought processes.
But you have been on cybalist for quite a while now,
and should make an elementary effort to improve your
capacity to express yourself and to be properly
understood in the language of your choice. Until you
do that I will take no further notice of your
garbles.******

*****GK Exactly! So why did you advance this passage
as "proof" of your "theory" about a Carpathian
Colchis?*******

******GK Exactly! And this locates Colchis where it
really is, in the Caucasus area, not near the
Carpathians.

PLEASE TRY TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE
GET A BETTER GRIP ON THE LANGUAGE!!!
