Shem, the third son of Noah, had five sons, who inhabited the land
that began at Euphrates, and reached to the Indian Ocean. For Elam left
behind him the Elamites, the ancestors of the Persians. Ashur lived at
the city Nineve; and named his subjects Assyrians, who became the most
fortunate nation, beyond others. Arphaxad named the Arphaxadites, who are

that he made war against Libya, and took it, and that his grandchildren,
when they inhabited it, called it (from his name) Africa. And indeed Alexander
Polyhistor gives his attestation to what I here say; who speaks thus: "Cleodemus
