 The Kingship of the Assyrians 
 Beginning of the nation of the Hebrews 
 The Kingship of the Sicyonians 
 The Kingship of the Egyptians 
BC
 Ninus son of Belus was the first to reign over all Asia except for the Indies, for 52 years. In the 43rd year of the rule of this Ninus, Abraham was born.  In his reign Abraham is born among the Hebrews; when Abraham was 100 years old he fathered Isaac.  In Greece, however, Europs was the second to rule over the Sicyonians in Greece, for forty-five years. In the twenty-second year of his reign Abraham was born. 
 From here onwards was the 16th government among the Egyptians, which they call a dynasty, at which time the Thebans were ruling for 190 years. 
 43   a Ninus founded the city of Ninum in the land of the Assyrians, which the Hebrews call Nineveh.  b While Ninus is reigning among the Assyrians, in his final years Abraham is born. 1 22  e While Ninus was reigning among the Assyrians, Aegialeus, from whom Aegialea was named, which is now called the Peloponnesus, ruled first among the Sicyonians for 52 years. After whom the second was Europs, whose name was also used as a place name.  f While Ninus was reigning among the Assyrians, the Thebans rule over the Egyptians.

In fact there was a ship prepared for his flight, of which the ram was the sign. Further, Palaephatus affirms that the ram by which he was freed was called 'Nurse'.

Note: In the editions of Fotheringham and Helm, pp.78-9 have 27 lines rather than the 26 of all the other pages. Unfortunately 'O' is a 30-line manuscript and I have no access to any 26-line manuscripts, so cannot tell whether this is intentional or merely an unfortunate error in Fotheringham. I myself did not notice this until most of the pages had been laid out, since I started with the endmost portion, which forced me to repeat this feature. It is perhaps possible that Helm had the same experience and was obliged to follow the pattern for the same reason. No-one who has not laid out 200+ pages of the Chronicle will fully appreciate the impossibility of rectifying such an error at a late stage.

Note: I have followed the layout in 'O' for the '~~~' and the arrangement on the page of the red text rather than sticking exactly to that in Helm. The '~~~' in the original consist of a decorative pattern of this character, with a dot under and over it (which I cannot show here). The dots are in the other colour to the line.
1. I have chosen here to reproduce a mistake made by the copyist of 'O', where he wrote in 36-38, crossed them out and placed in 1-3. This is a mistake I have made myself while laying out these pages. It shows that the ancient copyist copied the numbers first and then titles were inserted in the gaps, and then smaller text wherever there was room. I can testify that if you work in this sequence, the mistake is a perfectly natural one to make, and indeed an inevitable one.

 27  33 His daughter was selected as a vestal virgin to remove any possibility of a child. She was buried alive in the earth according to the law, because in the 27th year of her uncle's reign she had given birth to twin babies. Indeed, Faustulus, a palace shepherd, carried off the little ones exposed near the bank of the Tiber to his wife, Acca Laurentia. She, on account of her beauty and greed to make money from her body  1 , used to be named 'Lupa' (She-wolf) by the neighbours, whence down to our own memory, brothels of whores are called 'lupanaria' (wolf dens). When the boys had grown up, having gathered a band of shepherds and robbers, after Amulius had been killed at Alba, they restored their grandfather Numitor to power. *  3  6

 From the captivity of Troy, until the first Olympiad, 405 years.   h Africanus writes that the  first Olympiad  was in the times of Joathan, king of the Hebrews.  i Bocchorus established laws for the Egyptians, in whose reign a lamb spoke.
 b   In the second year of Aeschylus, judge of the Athenians, the first Olympiad held, in which Coroebus the Elian was champion. 
 c The Elians hold a contest every fifth year, with four years elapsed between, in which four annual leaders are created; Iphitus, son of Praxonides or of Haemo, was the first to create this system of Olympiads.  k Also, our own computation has shown it at this same time period. Moreover Africanus writes - I will transcribe his words - in this manner: "Aeschylus, son of Agamestor, held leadership among the Athenians for 28 years; in this period, Joathan was ruling in Jerusalem." We ourselves have also placed Joathan in the first Olympiad.
 d From this time, Greek history is believed to be true in the matter of dates: for before this, as it seemed to everyone, they have advanced different opinions.

 19th of the Hebrews of Judah, 

(1) cf 4Rg23:29. Is there a pun on necare, 'to slay'? Necho=Neco=I slay. Since following Allen and Greenough (236), the Latin suffix -o, -onis indicates 'a person employed in some specific art or trade.' For example from Gero, gero-geronis: carrier. From Neco (that is a contraction from neca-o) necao-necaonem would mean 'killer' if it were in the dictionary. The text reads, "...quomodo in praesens tempus sibi uterque convenerit, maxime cum Scriptura divina hunc eumdem Pharaonem, Nechaonem appellet." In the manuscript T we read instead: "...quomodo in presens tempus ista conveniunt maxime cum scriptura divina hunc eundem pharaonem nechaonem appellet." Maybe: "...in which way, in this time (in presens tempus) these things (ista) are appropriate (conveniunt) in the highest degree (maxime) since holy scripture calls this same Pharaoh 'Necho'(Killer)?"

 a   Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Chaldeans, after Jerusalem had been captured, burned down the temple, which from the start of its construction had stood for 442 years. 
Indeed, Clement agrees with our opinion in the first book of the  Stromateis , asserting that the Captivity of the Jews took place in the 47th Olympiad, while Vaphres was reigning in Egypt, and Phenippus in Athens; and by calculation, 70 years from the destruction of the Temple until the second year of Darius. 		 c When Jerusalem had been captured, the remanant of the Jews fled from the Assyrians over to Vaphres  1 , the king of Egypt. Even the Prophet Jeremiah makes mention of this Vaphres.

 a   In the second year of Darius the king, the Temple in Jerusalem is constructed by Zerubbabel, and the work is concluded in the 4th year. 

 d   Clement also agrees with this, writing thus in the first book of his   Stromateis  : 

 "And the captivity lasted for 70 years down to the second year of Darius the son of Hystaspes, who reigned over the Persians, Assyrians, and Egypt: in whose reign Haggai and Zechariah, and one of the Twelve who is called 'Messenger' (Malachi), prophesied, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak discharged the high priesthood. The aforementioned man (writes) these things." 

 However, that the seventy years of the abandonment of the Temple had been completed in the second year of Darius, Zechariah the prophet bears internal witness, saying in Darius's second year: "Almighty Lord, how long will you not have pity on Jeruslem, and on the cities of Judah, which you disdained?" That year is the 70th.

 b   However the end of the captivity of the Jews, and the permission to rebuild the temple began under Cyrus: the temple is finished in fact under Darius; because the neighbouring nations had impeded the building with unremitting attacks.
