The Rights of War and Peace
Early Christian bishop listed among sources on nations practicing circumcision.
Wherefore there is reason to believe that the numerous nations, who, besides the Israelites, practiced circumcision, and who are mentioned by Herodotus, Strabo, Philo, Justin, Origen, Clemens, Alexandrinus, Epiphanius, and Jerom, were descended from Ishmael, Esau, or the posterity of Keturah.
Epiphanius calls this the Scythian fashion.
