What does a topaz's “Melee Attackers take x damage per hit” modifier do?

Question

I noticed that the topaz has a modifier when socketed into a weapon that reads Melee attackers take x damage per hit

What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that I take the damage when using melee attacks or that opponents who attack me with melee attacks take damage (ala Thorns)?

Answer

It's a thorns effect. Every time you're hit by a melee attack, the offending servant of darkness will take X damage as a rebuke for daring to strike your most august personage.
