of 38 kings, for 1076 years. This began in the 2900th year of the world, and ended in the 3045th year of the world, knowledge of which, he says, Eratosthenes took from Egyptian records and names and, by royal command, rendered into the Greek language as follows: Of the Theban kings after 124 years of the dispersion, of the 38 kingdoms, 1. Menes the Thinite, a Theban, reigned, which is translated as eternal; he reigned for 62 years. The year of the world was 2900. 2.

YEARS OF THE WORLD 19th Generation: Nahor, 79 years. The year of the world was 3164. Eusebius

says that Abraham was born in the 3184th year of the world. Eusebius is mistaken in the times from Adam until Abraham by not including the 130 years of the second Cainan, son of Arphaxad, whom the Seventy number and the gospel according to Luke as the 13th from Adam. Africanus calculated 3202 years from Adam to the first year of Abraham. But he too is mistaken by the same 130 years of the second Cainan, son of Arphaxad, subtracting the 20 years of Methuselah, which, similarly to Eusebius, he also places in the 3184th year of the world. In his 79th year, Nahor begot Terah. 105 Twentieth Generation: Terah, 70 years. The year of the world was 3243. According to Africanus In the 3277th year of the world, Abraham entered the promised land of Canaan, which is impossible. In the 3312th year of the universal world, which was the 70th year of the life of Terah, the father of Abraham, the same Terah begot Abraham, as the scripture says, and after 75 years, that is, after 145 from the birth of Terah, in the 3387th year of the world, Abraham went out from
