Description:

This fragment describes a successful attack from the sea on a land force of Greek and African descent, who had previously killed some allies of the attackers. After the successful attack, and after burying their allies and plundering the neighbourhood, the attackers then proceed to Spain. There are conflicting opinions as to which part of the Histories this belongs and to which incidents it describes.
