4.181 The above live near the coast. Inland there are springs at 10-day intervals around which ppl live. The 1st of these are the Ammonians.

4.182 Ten days' journey beyond the Ammonians there is the spring called Augila.

4.183 10 days beyond are the Garamantes, whose oxen graze backwards. They hunt the cave-dwelling Ethiopians, the fastest runners of all men.

4.184 10 days beyond them are the Atarantes, who don't have individual names. Beyond that are the Atlantes, who don't dream or eat meat.

4.185 Beyond the Atlantes there are further springs at 10-day intervals, but I don't know names. The people's houses are made of salt.

4.186 So, between Egypt and Lake Triton live carnivorous (but not cow- or pig-eating), milk-drinking nomads.

4.187 To the west of the lake, the Libyans are not nomads. BTW, the nomadic Libyans cauterize their kids' heads when they're four years old.

4.188 The nomadic Libyans begin sacrifices by throwing animal’s ear over the house. All Libyans sacrifice to the sun & moon; some to Athena.

4.189 The Greeks adopted the garments and aegis of Athena from the Libyans, from whom they also learned how to yoke four horses together.

4.190 Most of the nomads bury their dead like the Greeks do, but the Nasamones bury them sitting up: they don't let ppl die on their backs.
