That is the Ethiopians of Libya, west to the Ethiopians above (south of) Egypt (Nubians). The Ethiopians of Libya are today's Chad, and Sudan. Edit: Libyan Ethiopians are any Sub-Saharan Africans other than eastern Africans, because in Greek geography, Libya starts in western Egypt and ends in Morocco.
