@arsimr16 -- can you say why you consider "Aethiopas duplices" not to be a place reference in these verses:
Dixerat, et medios sol feruentissimus axes
Igniferis calcabat equis et lampade recta
Aethiopas duplices axemque uidebat utrumque.
To me, it seems that the Sun went to see the "double Ethiopians" (the eastern and the western ones, according to Homer). This would be a great example of a metonymical (gens pro loco) reference to a place. I would change the value to the estlocus3
. What do you think?
I changed it because I thought it was refering to the people, but I guess this could be an example of metonymy.
After looking more closely the second time through, I have changed a number of names from estlocus1 to estlocus0 in the first spreadsheet.
