Some nations of Ethiopia are said to be cannibals; but they were too distant from the Red Sea. The Ichnyophagi or Troglodytes on the western banks, might despoil the dead, ( Calmet.) and procure food, ( Bible.) unless this be a description of a great fish, slain by the power of the Almighty, and really eaten.
