CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

A small Libyan tribe living, according to Herodotus (4.171), in the middle of the territory of the AUSCHISAE; he places them near to and along the coast west of BARCA (BA 38 B1) and says they share the customs of the tribes south of CYRENE, who imitate the Greeks of that city. The personal name Bacal is common in inscriptions from the area (Masson 1984), and the name of the tribe (Bkn.w) appears in Egyptian documents from the late Bronze Age as well as a recently published ostracon of the fifth century BCE containing the name INAROS (Winnicki 2006).
