Some history of circumcision given.
Circumcision said to have originally only been practiced among the Colchians, Egyptians, and Ethiopians. The Phoenicians adopted the practice from the Egyptians and the Macrones adopted it from the Colchians. The Syrians are said to have partially adopted it from the Egyptians and partially from the Colchians.
