DIodorus Siculus maketh relation, that when Dionysius with his Army travelled through the desert and dry places, annoyed with divers wilde beasts, he came to Zambirra a City of Lybia, where he slew a beast bred in those parts called Campe, which had before that time destroyed many men, which action did purchase him among the inhabitantes a never dying fame, and that therefore there might remain a continual remembrance to all posterity of that fact, he raised up there a monu∣ment of the slain beast to stand for evermore.
