Translation

['Boundaries of nations'] and 'boundaries of fathers'.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὅρια ἐθνῶν καὶ ὅρια πατέρων.

Betacode
*(/oria e)qnw=n kai\ o(/ria pate/rwn. 

Notes

  1. Perhaps from Symeon Metaphrastes, opined Adler, who also noted that Jonathan Toup (1713-1785) suggested *persw=n ("of Persians") for the transmitted pate/rwn. Any necessity for emendation, however, is arguable, given the fact that both of these phrases are well-attested separately and need not be supposed to be presented here as a single one. "Boundaries of nations", in particular, comes from Deuteronomy 32.8.
    For o(/rion, see generally omicron 564.
