Histories

but then they fell into the hands of the Libyans, who killed the laggards and stragglers of the army for the sake of their garments and possessions; until at last they came to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt.

This Persian force advanced as far as Euhesperidae in Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya and no farther. As for the Barcaeans whom they had taken for slaves, they carried them from Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt into banishment and brought them to the king, and Darius gave them a town of +Afghanistan [65,33] (nation), Asia Bactria to live in. They gave this town the name +Al Marj [20.833,32.5] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, Africa Barce, and it remained an inhabited place in +Afghanistan [65,33] (nation), Asia Bactria until my own lifetime.

But Pheretime did not end well, either. For as soon as she had revenged herself on the Barcaeans and returned to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt, she met an awful death. For while still alive she teemed with maggots: thus does over-brutal human revenge invite retribution from the gods. That of Pheretime, daughter of Battus, against the Barcaeans was revenge of this nature and this brutality.
