These border the Nasamonians on the south: westward along the
sea-shore their neighbours are the Macea, who, by letting the locks
about the crown of their head grow long, while they clip them close
everywhere else, make their hair resemble a crest. In war these
people use the skins of ostriches for shields. The river Cinyps rises
among them from the height called "the Hill of the Graces," and
runs from thence through their country to the sea. The Hill of the
Graces is thickly covered with wood, and is thus very unlike the rest
of Libya, which is bare. It is distant two hundred furlongs from the sea.
