Histories

But this region is a match for the most fertile farmland in the world, nor is it at all like to the rest of Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya. For the soil is black and well-watered by springs, and has no fear of drought, nor is it harmed by drinking excessive showers (there is rain in this part of Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya). Its yield of grain is of the same measure as in the land of Babylon [44.4,32.55] (deserted settlement), Babil, Iraq, AsiaBabylon.

The land inhabited by the Euhesperitae is also good; it yields at the most a hundredfold; but the land of the Cinyps region yields three hundredfold.
