Yes, but not the way we think of barbarians today. The ancient Greeks used the term "barbarian" for anyone who was a non-Greek. Today we use the term as connoting someone crude and uncivilized. The Greeks were certainly aware of the Egyptian culture and civilization and would not use the word barbarian in today's terms.
