Nomad Libyans (Eastern tribes) along the sea-coast. The Libyans are the predecessors of the Berbers; they were comparatively a light-skinned and fair-haired race.

H.'s division (c. 191) at Lake Tritonis is ‘obviously right’, i. e. he contrasts the Atlas system on the west with the flatter region of Tripoli on the east (R. Neumann, Nord-Afrika nach H., 1892, p. 11). The western part was the sphere of the Carthaginian influence (hence H. makes it agricultural, c. 191), and belongs really rather to Europe than to North Africa (cf. Macan's excellent note on c. 191).
