Nomădes

(Νομάδες). A name given by the Greeks to the pastoral nations of antiquity, who lived in wandering tribes, as the Scythians, Arabs, etc. Sallust makes the Numidians to have obtained their name in this way (Iug. 18), but without the least propriety. The term Numidae is evidently of Phoenician origin.
