Γαράμαντες. Obviously the name of the ‘Garamantes’ has been introduced here wrongly from c. 183. Pliny (v. 44-5) seems to have read ‘Gamphasantes’, of whom he says ‘nudi proeliorumque expertes, nulli externo congregantur’; cf. also Mela, i. 47; but Eustathius and Steph. Byz. s. v. read ‘Garamantes’. Others (e. g. Blakesley) suppose that H. here confuses the hunted Troglodytes of 183. 4 with their hunters; but this credits him gratuitously with a blunder.
