Note 121 — Chapter XI · CARTEIA.—TYRE AND HER WARES.—GLASS.
Reading edition
“We neither inhabit a maritime country,” says Josephus, “nor do we delight in merchandise, nor in the mixture with other men that arises from it. Our cities are remote from the sea, and having a fruitful country, we take care in cultivating that only.”
In the expeditions under Solomon it is expressly stated that the men of Tyre went to navigate their ships.
