BUT within the inner Compass of Africa, toward the
South, and above the Gsetuli, where the Deserts come between,
the first People that inhabit are the Libii jEgyptii,
and then the Leucsethiopes. Above them are the Ethiopian
Nations : the Nigritae, from whom the River was named : the
Gyrnnetes, Pharusi, and those which now reach to the Ocean,
whom we spake of in the border of Mauritania : the Perorsi.
From all these are vast Solitudes eastward, to the Garamantes,
Augylse, and Troglodites, according to the truest
opinion of them who place two ^Ethiopias above the Deserts
of Africa : and especially of Homer, who saith, that the
Ethiopians are divided two ways, towards the East and
1 Or 1500 paces, i. e. a mile and a half.
