aside (REMARK), tributary

Throughout, Hemming scatters modest references to his own extraordinary journeys. As an aside, while discussing the river’s multitude of swift, rapids-studded tributaries, he recalls that he was once nearly swept to his death in one.

亞述必將傾覆於超人的刀下，超人的刀必將吞噬她；她將由刀劍面前逃走，她的壯丁必要充作苦役。⁸And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
