1265 Selbst solche verhältnismäßig späte Ereignisse wie die Semitisierung von Habesch, welche kaum anders als durch eine Einwanderung von Südarabien aus zu erklären ist, darf man kaum zeitlich berechnen wollen. Even such relatively late occurrences like the Semitization of Abyssinia, which cannot well be explained other than by immigration from South Arabia, one can hardly calculate dates for.
