Note 121 — REMARKS.
Reading edition
In my Crania Americana, Note p. 29, I have employed this passage to show, that those Colchians whom Herodotus mentions as forming “part of the troops of Sesostris,” might have been Negroes acting as mercenary or auxiliary soldiers. I am now satisfied that such explanation is at least unnecessary, and I, therefore, take this occasion to withdraw it.
