	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.	1	2016

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.

Troy

Captured

a The entire period up to the present day is counted thus:

b From the first year of Cecrops, who first reigned over Attica, until the capture of Troy, and until the twenty-third year of Menestheus, whom Homer mentions, there are reckoned 375 years. Similarly, from Moses' thirty-fifth year there take place 375 years.

c Thuoris, King of Egypt, by Homer is called Polybus, Alcandra's husband, whom he mentions in the Odyssey, saying that after the capture of Troy, Menelaus and Helen sojourned with him.

835 years

According to the Hebrews

from the first year of the birth of Abraham

835 years

According to the Sicyonians

from the 20 and 2nd year of Europs

similarly 835 years

But from the birth of Moses

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.

				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.

					e The first captivity of Israel.
				The ten tribes of the nation of the Jews who were called Israel, and were in the part of Samaria conquered by Sennacherib, also called Shalmaneser, King of the Chaldeans, were taken off into the mountains of Media: and the kingship is in Samaria for 250 years.											l Sennacherib, king of the Chaldeans, sent Assyrians into the neighbouring regions to garrison the region of Judaea, who, having become enviers of the law of the Jews, were called Samaritans: which in the Latin language is expressed as 'guards'.

			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 The 2nd year is written twice because 1 year is comput-ed in the 7 months of the Magi brothers.

~~~

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.

65th Olympiad

c In which was the second year of Darius, son of Hystaspis, king of the Persians.
