Proper name [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /aː.pʰri.kɛ̌ː/, /a.ɸriˈci/, /a.friˈci/, /aː.pʰri.kɛ̌ː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.pʰriˈke̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.ɸriˈci/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.friˈci/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.friˈci/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Formed alongside Latin Africa. Occurs in Ptolemy, Cassius Dio, and later authors. The adjective Ἀφρικανός (Aphrikanós) is older, attested in fragments attributed to Manetho (3rd century BC), as well as in Polybius (died 118 BC), Posidonius, Diodorus Siculus and Plutarchus. The word was received by the Romans from the Carthaginians as the term for their country. The term replaces Λιβύη (Libúē) as the name of the continent (i.e. the part of the world south of the Mediterranean) in the Roman era (from ca. the 1st century AD), but like Λιβύη (Libúē) also remains in use for the more limited area between Egypt and Numidia.
