Note 306 — Chapter V · THE SECOND CHALCITIC AGE OF ALLOYS[242]—BRONZE, BRASS, ETC.: THE AXE AND THE SWORD.
Reading edition
In my commentary on Camoens (Camoens: his Life and his Lusiads), and again in To the Gold Coast for Gold (i. 17), I have attempted to identify Western Tarshish or Tartessus with Carteia in the Bay of Gibraltar. Newton makes Melcarth ‘King of Carteia’; but the word may mean either ‘city-king’ (Malik-el-Karyat), or ‘earth-king’ (Malik-el-Arz).
