 that customarily the human man-beiug-s will live who will dwell on 

 the earth. So now there, moreover, the path will divide itself where

 they-[masc.]-dwell-in-caves. So that, moreover [I say], thou shalt take 

 this thing-to-blow, this flute, and that thou shalt constantly continue 

 to blow it. Just as soon, customarily, as one's breath ends, one shall 

 hear customarily from what direction speaks the flute.
