Λιβύης
Libýē
Libya
Libýē refers to the region of Libya, a territory located in North Africa west of Egypt. In Hellenistic and Roman Greek usage, the term designates the lands inhabited by Libyans or peoples considered non-Egyptian populations from the African continent. In biblical and broader Koine contexts, it most commonly denotes the general area along the Mediterranean coast, extending inland from west of Egypt, and is sometimes used more broadly for much of North Africa excluding Egypt. The word carries the sense of a geographic designation and may refer to the inhabitants (Libyans) by extension.
