Histories

After returning from there back to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt, he gathered a great army (according to the account of the priests) and marched over the mainland, subjugating every nation to which he came.

When those that he met were valiant men and strove hard for freedom, he set up pillars in their land, the inscription on which showed his own name and his country's, and how he had overcome them with his own power;

but when the cities had made no resistance and been easily taken, then he put an inscription on the pillars just as he had done where the nations were brave; but he also drew on them the private parts of a woman, wishing to show clearly that the people were cowardly.

He marched over the country doing this until he had crossed over from Asia (continent)Asia to Europe (continent)Europe and defeated the Scythians and Thracians. Thus far and no farther, I think, the Egyptian army went; for the pillars can be seen standing in their country, but in none beyond it.
