Reference to Boucolia in the notes to Herodotus' history

It was the custom of the Egyptian kings to bring their prisoners to Egypt, and to employ them in public works, as the sculptures abundantly prove, and as Herodotus states (ch. 108). The Jews were employed in the same way: for though at first they obtained grazing-lands for their cattle in the land of Goshen (Gen. xlvi. 34), or the Bucolia, where they tended the king s herds (Gen. xlvii. 6, 27), they were afterwards forced to perform various services, like ordinary prisoners of war.
