167). It is more than probable that the same principle was at work in Egypt from a comparatively early date, and also in those parts of North Africa occupied by Greek aod Phoenician colonies. It will be presently shown that long before the Christian era horses were imported into Libya from Europe, and that in Boman times the North African horses crossed with Spanish blood were especially esteemed. It is therefore probable that in the horses of the Daphnae fragments the Greek vase-painter has po...urtrayed animals produced by crossing the Libyan and the Asiatic horse, and we shall furnish evidence of similar half-bred horses at Carthage, in Sicily, and in Greece by the fifth century B.C. In fact the horses of Daphnae, Carthage, Sicily, and Greece stood to the small slender uncrossed horses of the Numidians in much the same relation as do the coarse Arabian horses found to-day in Syria and Irak to the pure-bred Eeheilans.
It is now clear that for many centuries before the Arabs ever owned a horse, all the Libyan tribes possessed a most notable breed, which in size, shape, speed, colour, and docility, very closely resembled the Kohl breed of Arabia.
