Ethiopia

In the days of Assuerus, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over a hundred and twenty seven provinces:

Then the king's scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear.

The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.
