"Cowell's translation is rendered: "and made his obeisance at the four several points" (could any English native speaker clarify me this usage of ‘several'?).”
I’m afraid this phrasing does not make sense to me at all; 'four’ and ‘several’ both indicate numbers, putting them beside each other is problematic (to say the least), to me it needs to be one or the other, certainly putting in both upsets my grammatical feelings.
