Herodotus, speaking of circumcision, gives us an interesting text in*Euterpe*that includes Syria in Palestine, "The Phoenicians and the Syrians of Palestine themselves confess that they learnt the custom of the Egyptians; and the Syrians...say that they have recently adopted it from the Colchians. Now these are the only nations who use circumcision, and it is plain that they all imitate herein the Egyptians. " *Euterpe II.104.
