Contents of the Third Book of Diodorus:
- On the Ethiopians who dwell beyond Libya and their antiquities.
- On the gold mines on the farthest borders of Egypt and the working of the gold.
- On the peoples who dwell upon the coast of the Arabian Gulf and, speaking generally, upon all the coast of the ocean as far as India. In this connection there is a discussion of the customs which each people follows and of the reasons why history records many things in connection with them which are entirely unique and are not believed because they are contrary to what one expects.

- On the antiquities of Libya and the history of the Gorgons and Amazons, and of Ammon and Atlas.
- On the myths related about Nysa, in connection with which there is also an account of the Titans and Dionysus and the Mother of the Gods.
