    In "The Histories," trans. by Robin Waterfield, Oxford Univ.
    Press (1998), Herodotus mentions the Palestinian Syrians in
    several places. These were the Assyrians who had settled in
    the region that the ancient Greeks called Palestine.

    In particular, The following is from Book II.104: "Cholcians,
    Egyptians and Ethiopians are the only peoples in the world who
    practice circumcision and they have always done so. The
    Phoenicians and Palestinian Syrians are the first to admit that
    they learnt the practice from Egypt"
