which they did not build, and olive groves and fig orchards and vineyards which they did not 111.5 plant.” To whom I will say: O foolish ones, if God were like a man, the things said or done today would pass away and nothing would be in his memory; but since God “is God and not man,” in avenging the things referred to him for many generations, he does not forget. For if they are ignorant of this matter, let them learn. 112.1 All know that the righteous Noah became the remnant of the world after the flood. When, therefore, he and his three sons were left, being righteous and trying to make his own children pious, so that they might not fall into the same evils as those in the flood, he not only delivered piety to them through words, but also by an oath he demanded from each one of them goodwill toward his 112.2 brother. And having been established by God as heir of the world, he divides the whole world among his three sons, dividing it by lots and assigning each part to each according to 112.3 lot; and to Shem the firstborn fell the lot from Persia and Bactria to India in length, and in breadth from India to the land of Rhinocolura; and this Rhinocolura lies between Egypt and Palestine, opposite the Red Sea. 112.4 To Ham the second, from the same Rhinocolura to Gades, the parts to the south. To Japheth the third, from Media to Gades and Rhinocolura, the parts to the north. 113.1 To Shem, therefore, are born sons and sons' sons, 25, until the time the languages were divided; and they are scattered in languages and 113.2 tribes and kingdoms. And their names are these: Elymaeans, Paeonians, Lazones, Cossaeans, Gasphenoi, Palestinians, Indians, Syrians, Arabs, also called Taianoi, Arians, Mardoi, Hyrcanians, Magusaeans, Troglodytes, Assyrians, Germans, Lydians, Mesopotamians, Hebrews, Coelenoi, Bactrians, Adiabenoi, Camelioi, Saracens, Scythians, † Chiones, Gymnosophists, Chaldeans, Parthians, Enetai, Cordylenoi, Massynoi, Phoenicians, Madienaeans, Commagenians, Dardanians, Elamasenoi, Cedrusioi, Elamites, Armenians, Cilicians, Egyptians, Cappadocians, Phoenicians, Pontics, Marmaridae, † Biones, Carians, Chalybes, Psyllites, Lazoi, Mossynoeci, Iberians, Phrygians. 113.3 To Ham the second, sons and sons' sons, thirty-two, until the same division of languages: Ethiopians, Troglodytes, Angaioi, Taienoi, Sabines, Ichthyophagi, Hellenicoi, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Marmaridae, Carians, Psyllites, Mossynoeci, Phrygians, Macones, Macrones, Syrtites, Leptimagnites, Bithynians, Nomads, Lycians, Mariandynians, Pamphylians, † Moschesidioi, Pisidians, Augalaioi, Cilicians, Maurusians, Cretans, Magardai, Numidians, Afri, also called Bizacenians, Nasamones, Phasgenoi, Mazices, Garamoi, Gaetulians, Blemmyes, Axomites; these 113.4 occupy from Egypt to the Ocean. And their islands: Coursula, Lopadusa, Gaulus, Rhide, Melite, Corcyra, Mene, Sardanis, Gortyna, Crete, Glaucus, Rhide, Thera, Carianthos, Astypalaea, Chios, Lesbos, Tenedos, Imbros, Iasos, Samos, Cos, Cnidus, Nissyros, Megiste, and Cyprus. 113.5 To Japheth the third, sons and sons' sons, fifteen, until the same division of languages: Medes, Albanians, Gargianoi, Armenians, Arraioi, Amazons, Coloi, Corzenoi, Beneagenoi, Cappadocians, Galatians, Paphlagonians, Mariandynians, Tibareni, Chalybes, Mossynoeci, Colchians, Melanchenoi, Sauromatae, Germans, Maeotae, Scythians, Tauri, Thracians, Basternae, Illyrians, Macedonians, Hellenes, Libyans, † Phrygians, Pannonians, Istrians, Ouennones, Daunians, Iapygians, Calabrians, Hippicoi, Latins, also called Romans, Tyrrhenians, Gauls, also called Celts
