According to the Perseus Digital Library, the designation properly translates as Burnt face in noun form and red brown in adjectival form. The historian Herodotus used the appellation to denote the parts of Africa below the Sahara that were then known within the Ecumene inhabitable world. However, the Greek formation may be a folk etymology for the Ancient Egyptian term athtiu abu, which means robbers of hearts. In Greco Roman epigraphs, Aethiopia was a specific toponym for ancient Nubia. At least as early as c. Aethiopia also occurs in many translations of the Old Testament in allusion to Nubia. The ancient Hebrew texts identify Nubia instead as Kush. However, in the New Testament, the Greek term Aithiops does occur, referring to a servant of Candace or Kandake, possibly an inhabitant of Mero in Nubia. Following the Hellenic and Biblical traditions, the Monumentum Adulitanum, a third century inscription belonging to the Aksumite Empire, indicates that Aksums then ruler governed an area which was flanked to the west by the territory of Ethiopia and Sasu. The Aksumite King Ezana would eventually conquer Nubia the following century, and the Aksumites thereafter appropriated the designation Ethiopians for their own kingdom. In the Geez version of the Ezana inscription, A is equated with the unvocalized btm and bt abashat, and denotes for the first time the highland inhabitants of Aksum. This new demonym would subsequently be rendered as bs Absh in Sabaic and as abasha in Arabic. In the 1. 5th century Geez Book of Aksum, the name is ascribed to a legendary individual called Ityoppis. He was an extra Biblical son of Cush, son of Ham, said to have founded the city of Axum. In English, and generally outside of Ethiopia, the country was once historically known as Abyssinia. This toponym was derived from the Latinized form of the ancient Habash.
