CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Nomadic Libyan (North African) tribe dwelling along the MEDITERRANEAN coast, in the western part of modern‐day EGYPT (BA 73 D2). Herodotus states that the Adyrmachidae follow mostly Egyptian customs other than their Libyan DRESS, and he notes two other customs which make them unique among the Libyans: the women bite lice, and the king is allowed to sleep with a bride‐to‐be of his choosing (4.168).
