Excerpt from The Classical Journal, Vol. 22: For September and December, 1820
The fourth chapter of the sixth book relates the various settle ments of the military caste, who refused to unite with their brethren, on account of the schism of the two great sects; these were chiefly known by the name Scythaé or Scythians; they were alike the ancestors of the ancient Goths, the Indoscytha; the Germans, and the warlike tribes of India. 'as they 'were one military caste, the division of castes was'unknown among them. The history of the much controverted shepherd kings Egypt, and the various settlements of the military caste, in con; seq ence of their expulsion, occupies the fifth chapter. Mr Br t'a theory, that the shepherd kings were the Cuthim from Babylonia, who were expelled from thence after the overthrow of the-tower, is rejected; it is asserted by Mr.' Faber, from a variety of authorities; but principally from Ca tain Wilford's paper in the Asiatic Researches, entitled, On pt, and the Nile, from the sacred books of the Hindoos - that the shepherd kings were Asiatic Ethiopians, or Philitim, who invaded Egypt from the East. The most in enious reasoning is employed to prove this point, and to estab ish the connexion'betweén their history, and that of the Israelites. The'chapter concludes with an account of the emigrations of these°royal shepherds, when they were ultimately expelled from Egypt, under the variouis appellations of danai,°cadmians, 8lc. Sec.
