The land that EB forgot

[Ibrahim]

About Arabia and lybia+ the greek stuff:

1-not all of Arabia and lybia is deserts-the coastal bits of lybia is actually fertile and can be farmed, and paved-why else would greeks have settled there? and not all Arabia is sand; most of it is mountain (hijaz, asir, jabal 'uman regions), or dry plains (thin-ish layer of sand-has shrub cover); there are even some subtropical areas in Saudi Arabia, Oman and yemen, thanks to summer rains. and there are paved roads in them all-the sand dunes are mostly in al-nafud and al-rub' al-khali...otherwise kuwait woudn't have a frog species of it's own.

I ought to know I lived there for 16 years, & all but one year of school was there

2-what if Seleukeia is an adjective-like seleucid in english?being an inflected language, the adjective can come after what it is describing.
