LIBYA, in a still more confined sense, called Libya Propria, was a northern district of Africa, and part of the Hither Libya, situated between Egypt on the east, the Mediterranean on the north, the Syrtis Major and the Regio Tripolitana to the west, the Garamantes and Ethiopia be-
yond Egypt to the south. This Libya was again subdivided into Libya taken in the strictest sense of all, and into Marmarica and Cyrenaica. Libya in the strictest sense was the most eastern portion of Libya Propria, next to Egypt, with Marmarica on the west, the Mediterranean on the north, and the Nubi, now called Nubia, to the south.
