KINGS OF THE ASSYRIANS The 23rd king of the Assyrians was Lampraes, for 30 years. It was the

4000th year of the world. The 24th king of the Assyrians was Panyas, for 45 years. It was the 4030th year of the world. The 25th king of the Assyrians was Sosarmus, for 22 years. It was the 4075th year of the world. The 26th king of the Assyrians was Mithraeus, for 27 years. It was the 4097th year of the world. The 27th king of the Assyrians was Teutamus, who is also called Tautanes by some, for 32 years. Eusebius says that Ilion was captured under this king. It was the 4124th year of the world. 177 The 28th king of the Assyrians was Teutaeus, for 44 years. It was the 4156th year of the world. The 29th king of the Assyrians was Arabelus, for 42 years. It was the 4200th year of the world.

KINGS OF THE EGYPTIANS The 40th king of Egypt was Amenophthis, for 34 years. It was the

3879th year of the world. This Amenophthis is the one believed to be Memnon and the vocal stone. At a later time Cambyses the Persian cut this stone, believing there to be sorcery in it, as Polyaenus the Athenian relates. The Ethiopians, having migrated from the Indus river, settled near Egypt. The 41st king of the Egyptians was Orus, for 48 years. It was the 3913th year of the world. The 42nd king of the Egyptians was Achencheres, for 25 years. It was the 3961st year of the world. The 43rd king of the Egyptians was Athoris, for 29 years. It was the 3986th year of the world. The 44th king of the Egyptians was Chencheres, for 26 years. It was the 4015th year of the world.

KINGS OF THE SICYONIANS The 26th king of the Sicyonians was Zeuxippus, for 30 years. It was the

4188th year of the world. Until this 4205th year of the world the kingdom of the Sicyonians, that is, those called Peloponnesians, lasted for 26 generations, or kings, for 967 years. For having begun in the 3239th universal year of the world, it 178 ceased in this 4205th year. After these 26 kings, as they say, the priests of Carneius led them for 33 years. All together, the years of the Sicyonian rule are one thousand.

KINGS OF THE ARGIVES The 6th king of the Argives was Phorbas, for 25 years. This man ruled

Rhodes. It was the 3668th year of the world. The 7th king of the Argives was Triopas, for 36 years. It was the 3703rd year of the world. The 8th king of the Argives was Crotopus, for 24 years. It was the 4029th year of the world. The 9th king of the Argives was Sthenelus, for 11 years. It was the 4053rd year of the world. Some say that after Sthenelus, Gelanor ruled Argos; the Argives, having removed him from power, made Danaus king of Argos. Exiled from Egypt, he took control of Argos and made it well-watered. The same Danaus, through the so-called Danaids (these were his 50 daughters), did away with the 50 sons of his brother Aegyptus, except for one, Lynceus, who also ruled after him. And having many children is not unbelievable among barbarians because of the multitude of concubines.

SPORADICALLY Io the second, having come to Egypt according to some, who was also

called Isis Pharia, married Telegonus and bore Epaphus. Epaphus, son of Io the 2nd, ruled Egypt and founded Memphis. Corinth, formerly called Ephyra, was founded. Phoenix and Cadmus, having gone out from Thebes in Egypt, ruled Tyre and Sidon in Syria. Busiris, son of Poseidon and Libya daughter of Epaphus, was tyrant of the regions along the Nile and used to sacrifice strangers who passed by. The temple at Delphi was burned by Phlegyas. 179 Asterius reigned over the Cretans. Zeus is fabled to have mingled with Europa, daughter of Phoenix. But he was dead, as his tomb in Crete testifies. And she was the wife of Asterius, king of the Cretans.
