Αιβύων. H. is speaking of Africa, west of Egypt, which last he rightly considers a separate country; but this does not prove he thought it to be a part of a different continent (cf. 39 nn.). He is quite right in distinguishing the Berber tribes of the North African coast (Αίβυες) from the Negroid races of the Sûdân and the Gold Coast (Αἰθίοπες).
