[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Djehuti[/b]: ^ Affirmative. 'Afrorum' and 'Mauretania' are two different regions and thus inhabited by two different ethnikoi/gentes/races. If 'Afrorum' was the general term for [i]all[/i] of Africa then why are Egyptians and Aethiopians excluded as well even though they share the same continent?[/QUOTE]Afer evolved from a distinct (Afri) to a generalized (Libya/Africa) meaning. Context tells where between the two is meant. In Manilius it is nether just the original Afri nor all of Libya/Africa but a set consisting of peoples between Egypt and Mauretania on towards the Sahara. As with - janiform karanthos - textual examples of black-white dichotomy Afer is another theme I intend to expand on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
