CANDACE
[Greek Kandake].
A queen of
Ethiopia, i.e., probably, of Meroe, in southern Nubia. A eunuch of
great authority at her court, being converted to Christianity when on a
visit to Palestine through the instrumentality of Philip the evangelist,
seems to have introduced his new faith into that African region (Acts
viii. 26-39). Strabo, Dion Cassius, and Pliny all concur in
stating that Meroe in the first century of the Christian era was
governed by a succession of queens, each called Candace. (The Sunday
School Teacher's Bible Manual, Hunter, 1894).
