KT says, البُقْعَانُ signifies (assumed
tropical:) those in whom is blackness and whiteness; and one who is white without any admixture of blackness is not called ابقع: how then should the Greeks be called بقعان when they are purely white? and he adds that he thinks the meaning to be, the offspring of Arabs, who are black, [which is not to be understood literally, but rather in the sense of swarthy,] by female slaves of the Greeks, who are white.
