4. Much has been written on Herodotus' ethnographical interests: Grassl (I904); Trudinger (1918); von Fritz (1967) 128 ff.; Muller (1972); Rossellini and Sai:d (1978) 949 ff.; Hartog (1980); Mora (1986) 60 ff.

8. See below, p. 433.
9. The word can be used to denote 'inquiry, investigation', whatever the method, or to refer to specifically oral inquiry. In the first line of the Histories it is the former sense which is at issue (Lloyd (1975) 81 f.).
10. On the sources for Book Two, see Lloyd (I975) 77 ff.; (1988b) 23 ff.; Fehling (I989); and Pritchett (1993).
11. Making 'Egyptians' even remotely genuinely Egyptian could well be surplus to requirements. The 'Egyptian' context of Euripides' Helen dispenses completely with anything that could be called Egyptian local colour!
12. Note that the swineherds are stated to practise exclusive intermarriage (2.47.1).
13. Herodotus' account of Egyptian history is studied in depth by von Fritz (1967) I, 158 ff.; Drews (1973) 56 ff.; and Lloyd (1988b).
14. On the Cambyses tradition, see Posener (1936); KJasens (1944- 8) 339 ff.; Schwartz (1948) 65 ff.; Kienitz (1953); Otto (1954); Bresciani (1958) 167 ff.; Gyles (1959); Drioton and Vandier (1962) 600 ff.; Porten ((968); Kraeling (1969); Waters (1971), 53-6; Lloyd (1982) 166 ff.; Brown (1982) 387- 403; Lloyd (1988a).
15. For detailed commentary on this section, see Lloyd (1988c) I ff.
16. Pheros' name is clearly based on the Egyptian title per-aa, the origin of the English Pharaoh, but he was clearly identified in later tradition with Amenemhet II of the Twelfth Dynasty (Lloyd (1988c) 38 ff.). Proteus is an import from Homeric tradition (Lloyd (1988c) 43 ff.).
17. Herodotus' accounts of Egyptian buildings have been discussed in detail by Lloyd (I995) 273- 300.
18. This Isis temple cannot be identified, but Amasis' interest in this goddess is gratifyingly confirmed by his temple constructed in her honour at Philae (Haeny (1985) 197 ff).
19. For the character of Herodotus' priestly tradition, see Lloyd (1975) 89 ff.
20. On autopsy, see Lloyd (1975) 84 ff.
21. See Lloyd (1975) 116 ff. Usually Herodotus simply refers to them as Hellenes, but references to Ionians and Cyreneans do occur.
22. See Lloyd (1988a) 60 ff.; (1988b) 39 ff.
23. (1992) 980. On the applicability of the term 'novella' where Herodotus' work is concerned, see also Ch. 11, pp. 257- 8, this volume.
24. Sauneron (1957) 27 ff.; Hornung (1983), 151 ff.; and Silverman in Shafer (ed.) (1991) 29, 64, 66- 7.
25. Froidefond (1971); Lloyd (1988a), 184 ff It is a matter of some considerable doubt whether these late Pharaonic Makhimoi are the ancestors of the Ptolemaic class of the same name (Goudriaan (1988), 12I ff.).
26. Recent excavations strongly indicate that the settlement of Memphis moved gradually southwards during its long history, and that the site of 'Min's' Memphis lay to the north of the fifth-century site (Giddy, Jeffreys, and Malek (1990) 13; Giddy and Jeffreys (1991) 6; and Giddy and Jeffreys (1992), 2).
27. The Fayum basin is a natural formation created by wind erosion. The lake was created when an offshoot of the Nile, now known as the Bahr Yusuf, broke through the western cliffs and flooded the lower part of the basin (Lloyd (1988c) 126).
28. This monument dates from the late prehistoric period and shows the king wielding a hoe to create a canal (Spencer (1993) 56, fig. 36).
29. On the Egyptian use of papyrus, see Lucas and Harris (1962) index, s.v.
30. On this intriguing account, see the studies of Morrison in Greenhill (1976) 161 ff; Lloyd (1979); and Haldane and Shelmerdine (1990).
31. See the analysis of Lloyd (1988c) 63 ff; (1995) 274 ff.

35. A curious thing to say since the Egyptians were, in practice, almost entirely monogamous, whatever might be permitted in theory.
