But the Scythian name for earth 'apia, watery, water-issued, meaning first isle and then land this name, which we find in 'avia, ScandinAVIA, and in 'ey' for AldernEY, not only explains the Apian Land of Sophocles for us, but points the way to a whole world of relationships of which we knew nothing.
