Debai

region · 30 BC – 300 AD

Strabo describes the Debai of southwestern Arabia as a semi-Nomadic people. He notes that they live in a land that is rich in resources (like gold) for which these people have no use. This description is part of his narrative of "primitive" peoples at the margins of the Roman world.
