As the last books have been lost, it is not known if Diodorus reached the beginning of the Gallic War as he promised at the beginning of his work or, as evidence suggests, old and tired from his labours he stopped at 60 BC.) He used the name "Bibliotheca" to show that he was writing a work from many sources. Identified authors on whose works he drew include <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hecataeus_of_Abdera&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hecataeus of Abdera (not yet started)">Hecataeus of Abdera</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ctesias_of_Cnidus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ctesias of Cnidus (not yet started)">Ctesias of Cnidus</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ephorus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ephorus (not yet started)">Ephorus</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Theopompus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Theopompus (not yet started)">Theopompus</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hieronymus_of_Cardia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hieronymus of Cardia (not yet started)">Hieronymus of Cardia</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Duris_of_Samos&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Duris of Samos (not yet started)">Duris of Samos</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Diyllus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Diyllus (not yet started)">Diyllus</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Philistus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Philistus (not yet started)">Philistus</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Timaeus_(historian)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Timaeus (historian) (not yet started)">Timaeus</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Polybius&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Polybius (not yet started)">Polybius</a>, and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Posidonius&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Posidonius (not yet started)">Posidonius</a>. </p><p>His writing of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gold_mining&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gold mining (not yet started)">gold mining</a> in <a href="/wiki/Nubia" title="Nubia">Nubia</a> in eastern <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a> is one of the earliest texts on the topic, and describes in vivid detail the use of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Slave_labour&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Slave labour (not yet started)">slave labour</a> in terrible working conditions. </p><p>He also described the <a href="/wiki/Celts" title="Celts">Celts</a>: "Physically the Celts are terrifying in appearance with deep-sounding and very harsh voices. In conversation they use few words and speak in riddles, for the most part hinting at things and leaving a great deal to be understood. They frequently exaggerate with the aim of extolling themselves and diminishing the status of others. They are boasters and threateners, and given to bombastic self-dramatization, and yet they are quick of mind and with good natural ability for learning."
