Histories

The Ethiopians above Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt and the Arabians had Arsames for commander, while the Ethiopians of the east[*](For these see Hdt. 3.94. The “eastern Ethiopians” were apparently in or near +Baluchistan [66,28] (province), Pakistan, Asia Beluchistan.) (for there were two kinds of them in the army) served with the Indians; they were not different in appearance from the others, only in speech and hair: the Ethiopians from the east are straight-haired, but the ones from Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya have the woolliest hair of all men.

These Ethiopians of Asia (continent)Asia were for the most part armed like the Indians; but they wore on their heads the skins of horses' foreheads, stripped from the head with ears and mane; the mane served them for a crest, and they wore the horses' ears stiff and upright; for shields they had bucklers of the skin of cranes.
