Pseudo-Callisthenes tells an evidently fabulous story of the visit of Alexander the Great to Candace, Queen of Meroe, which nevertheless illustrates her fame: Candace will not let him enter Ethiopia and says he is not to scorn her people because they are black, for they are whiter in soul than his white folk. She sent him gold, maidens, parrots, sphinxes, and a crown of emeralds and pearls.
The history proper contains the record of the Jews from the first to the second captivity, but is broken by a mass of legendary material about Alexander the Great reproducing much of what is found in pseudo-Callisthenes and by a short account of the Carthaginian general Hannibal and several incidents of Roman history.
