Mention by Pliny

Pliny while describing Arabia mentions... Also, the island of Chelonitis²⁷, numerous islands of Ichthyophagi, the deserts of Odanda, Basa, many islands of the Sabæi, the rivers Thanar and Amnume, the islands of Dorice, and the fountains of Daulotos and Dora.

We find also the islands of Pteros, Labatanis, Coboris, and Sambrachate, with a town of the same name²⁸ on the mainland.

Lying to the south are a great number of islands, the largest of which is Camari; also the river Musecros, and the port of Laupas.

.....We then come to the Sabæi, a nation of Scenitæ²⁹, with numerous islands, and the city of Acila³⁰, which is their mart, and from which persons embark for India.

....We then come to a promontory, from which to the mainland of the Troglodytæ it is fifty miles, and then the Thoani, the Actæi, the Chatramotitæ, the Tonabei, the Antidalei, the Lexianæ, the Agræi, the Cerbani, and the Sabæi³⁷, the best known of all the tribes of Arabia, on account of their frankincense; these nations extend from sea to sea.³⁸

28 From which came the myrrh mentioned by Pliny in B. xii. c. 36.

29 Or the Tent-Dwellers, the modern Bedouins.

30 By some geographers identified with the Ocelis or Ocila, mentioned in c. 26, the present Zee Hill or Ghela, a short distance to the south of Mocha, and to the north of the Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb. Hardouin says, however, that it was a different place, Acila being in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf, in which he appears to be correct. .....

37 Their country is supposed to have been the Sheba of Scripture, the queen of which visited king Solomon. It was situate in the south-western corner of Arabia Felix, the north and centre of the province of Yemen, though the geographers before Ptolemy seem to give it a still wider extent, quite to the south of Yemen. The Sabæi most probably spread originally on both sides of the southern part of the Red Sea, the shores of Arabia and Africa. Their capital was Saba, in which, according to their usage, their king was confined a close prisoner.

38 The Persian Gulf to the Red Sea.
