Histories

These are all the Libyans whom we can name, and the majority of their kings cared nothing for the king of the Medes at the time of which I write, nor do they care for him now.

I have this much further to say of this country: four nations and no more, as far as we know, inhabit it, two of which are aboriginal and two not; the Libyans in the north and the Ethiopians in the south of Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya are aboriginal; the Phoenicians and Greeks are later settlers.

In my opinion, there is in no part of Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya any great excellence for which it should be compared to Asia (continent)Asia or Europe (continent)Europe, except in the region which is called by the same name as its river, Cinyps.
