Creophagi
Κρεωφάγοι
Eth. Creophagi (Eth. Κρεωφάγοι, Strab. xvi. p.771.), a Troglodytic race on the western shore of the Red Sea, and, as their name of the flesh-eaters
imports, a pastoral people who lived upon the produce of their herds of cattle. Strabo (l.c.) seems to regard the Colobi and Creophagi as the same tribes.
