210INTRODUCTORY DISSERTATION.
211In presenting this collection of ANCIENT FRaG-
212MENTs to the world, some explanation of what is
213comprehended under that title may not be deemed
214unnecessary.
215We are accustomed to regard the
216Hebrew scriptures, and the Greek and Latin
217writings, as the only certain records of antiquity :
218yet there have been other languages, in which
219have been written the annals and the histories of
220other nations.
221Where then are those of Assyria
222and Babylon, of Persia and Egypt and Pheenicia,
223of Tyre and Carthage?
224Of the literature of all
225these mighty empires, where are even the remains?
226It will, no doubt, tend to excite some reflections
227of a melancholy cast, to look on this small volume
228as an answer.
229‘That all such remains are con-
230tained in it, I should be unwilling to assert: yet,
231with some diligence and research, | have not been
232able to increase its size with other fragments,
233which I could consider sufficiently authenticated.
234It was my wish to have included in this col-
235lection all the fragments of the earlier Gentile
236world, which have reached us through the me-
237|

240dium of the Greek language.
241Of the early his-
242torians of Greece the names only of some have
243come down to us; whilst of others, such
244as
245Eupolemus and Histizus, several very interesting
246fragments have escaped the general wreck.
247In
248the classic ages of their literature, the acquaint-
249ance of the Greek historians with antiquity was
250generally confined and obscure: nor was it till
251the publication of the Septuagint, that they
252turned their attention to their own antiquities, and
253to those of the surrounding nations: and for this
254reason we meet with more certain notices of
255ancient history in the later, than in the earlier
256times of Greece.
257To have drawn a line then; to
258have inserted the earlier writers in exclusion of
259the later, would have been to have omitted the
260more valuable.
261‘To have reprinted the fragments
262of many authors, such as Nicolaus Damascenus,
263a writer of Damascus, of the Augustan age, would
264have introduced, with some matter worthy of at:
265tention, much of little interest:
266To have selected
267from them all, the passages relating to ancient
268times and foreign states, would have been a task
269as useless as laborious, and would have swelled
270the collection to a series of volumes.
271I have
272therefore, for the most part, excluded the native
273Greek historians—and every writer of the Au-
274gustan age and downwards—lI have also omitted
275all fragments which bear about them the stamp
276of forgery, or are the productions of Hellenistic
p. 17
277ili
278Jews, or of authors who have had access to the
279sacred Scriptures, and following the words, throw
280no additional light upon the subjects ; under one
281or other of which divisions may be classed the
282Antediluvian books of Enoch, the fragments of
283Artapanus, the Sibylline Oracles, the Corréspon-
284dence of Solomon and Hiram king of Tyre, the
285tragedy of Ezekiel in which Moses figures as the
286hero, with several compositions of a similar de-
287scription.
288The contents, then, of this volume, are Frag-
289ments which have been translated from foreign
290languages into Greek; or have been quoted or
291transcribed by Greeks from foreign authors; or
292have been written in the Greek language by
293foreigners who have had access to the archives of
294their own countries.
295Yet to render the collection
296more useful, and as it were a manual to the Chro-
297nologist and Mythological Antiquarian, I have
298added by way of Supplement such fragments and
299extracts as appear to have descended from more
300ancient sources, though they are now to be found
301only in the works of Greek or Latin writers.
302Some of these are merely illustrations of the
303fragments, or contain detached chronological no-
304tices, or such other curious information as may
305well be deemed worthy of a place.
306Thus I have
307endeavoured to comprise, in the volume, all the
308genuine relics of antiquity which precede the era
309of Grecian history ; and which lie so scattered
p. 18
3101V
311among the folios, chiefly of the Fathers and the
312Philosophers of the lower empire, as to be inac-
313cessible to the Antiquarian, unless in the neigh-
314bourhood of some large public library.
315Miscellaneous as such a collection might be -
316at first supposed, it will be found to resolve
317itself into two subjects; the early History, and
318the ancient Theological Systems of the world.
319In the following pages I have endeavoured to
320present a sketch of both; not with a view of
321entering into the details, but rather as a method
322of connecting the fragments with one another,
323to facilitate an examination of their contents,
324by directing the attention successively to those
325great landmarks which stand prominently forth
326amidst what might otherwise be deemed a wild,
327pathless and interminable ; and to enable the
328reader, by following the same order of perusal,
329to elicit something like a regular continued nar-
330rative.
331In the Scriptures we have a brief but
332authenticated account of the earliest ages: but
333among the heathen writers, with the exception of
334some few very valuable historical fragments, we
335have little more than a collection of allegories
336and
337legendary tales.
338Upon examination, however,
339most of these legends, notwithstanding their ob-
340scurity, will be found to contain references to those
341grand primeval events whose memory was retained
342among every people upon earth : and for the com-
p. 19
343¥
344memoration of which were ordained so many of
345the ceremonies and mysteries of the ancients.
346From such traditions, handed down for. ages
347before they were committed to writing, we might
348expect but little aid.
349Indeed in all the re-
350searches of the antiquarian, conjecture must very
351generally supply the place of science.
352Yet, by
353pursuing a proper method of investigation, we
354may approximate to truth, and frequently illus-
355trate circumstances obscurely hinted at in Scrip-
356ture, and even occasionally fill up the gaps of
357history, by supplying events which have been
358omitted by the sacred writers as unconnected
359with the immediate objects under their consi-
360deration.
3614
362Persons, Events, and Dates in History, and
363Systems in Theology, are the objects to be ex-
364amined and ascertained.
365And where the subject
366under investigation can be so divided, that the
367truth must lie among some few plausible hypo-
368thesis, which can be a priori, and at once laid
369down: by collecting all the evidence that can be
370had, and examining separately, and excluding
371successively each of these hypothesis which shall
372be found inconsistent
373with
374that. evidence, we
375may contract the circle of conjecture, in some
376cases, till but one hypothesis is left; which one
377must be the truth, and is thus negatively rendered
378matter of demonstration.
379In other cases want of
p. 20
380vi
381evidence may leave room
382for several different
383opinions, none of which can really be refuted,
384though one may often be more plausible than an-
385other..
386Mr. Faber, in his admirable work on the
387“Pagan Idolatry, has collected and separately ex-
388amined all the different systems of the Heathen
389| Mythology; and has shown, ‘that there is such
390a singular, minute, and regular accordance among
391-
392them, not only in what ‘is obvious and natural,
393but also in what is arbztrary and circumstantial,
394both in fanciful speculations and in artzficial ob-
395\ servances, as to’ render untenable every other
396_ hypothesis than this—‘ that they niin all have
397_
398originated from some common source.’
399Having thus shown their common origin, he
400enumerates three hypothesis
401as the only three
402on which, he conceives, the common origination
403of the ‘various i harigc of Paganism can be ac-
404counted for:
4051. Either all nations agreed peaceably to borrow from one,
406subsequent to their several settlements.
407-
4082. Or all nations, subsequent to their several settlements,
409were compelled by arms to adopt the superstition of one.
4103. Or all nations were once assembled together in a single
411place and in a single community ;
412where they adopted a
413corrupt form of religion, which they afterwards. re-
414spectively carried with them into the lands that they
415colonized.
416|
417After examining at length and shewing the utter
p. 21
418Vii
419impossibility of maintaining either the first or
420second of these hypothesis, he concludes that
421the third only can be the truth.*
422In the same manner we may ascertain the re-
423gion from which mankind originally dispersed.
424Both in ancient and modern times the Greeks have
425been accused of a kind of plagiarism, which was
426the prevailing custom of every nation upon earth.
427Egypt and India, and Pheenicia, no less than
428Greece, have appropriated to themselves, ‘and
429assigned within their own territorial limits, the
430localities of the grand events of primeval history,
431with the birth and achievements of the Gods and
432Heroes, the Deluge, 'the origin of the arts and
433the civilization of ‘mankind.
434And ‘their claims
435have found more able supporters, only. because
436they have not been so obviously liable to 'tefuta-
437tion.
438Yet by rejecting each country, whose
439claims rest upon no better foundation than:its own
440local histories, and retaining those only, whose
441pretensions: are substantiated by the concurrent
442testimony of the rest; it may be shown, inde-
443pendently of Scripture, that the primitive settle-
444ments of mankind were in such places, and at-
445tended with such circumstances, as the Scripture
446instructs us was the case.
447* To these, perhaps, may be added a fourth, viz. that the
448superstition became general, partly by peaceful communication,
449and partly by force of arms: though the fulness of the evidence
450is such as to render this equally untenable with the others.

452Of the transactions
453previous to the Deluge
454there are but few and faint memorials among the
455heathens. One of the most authentic may be
456found in the remains of the Pheenician History et
457of Sanchoniatho, who is considered to be the
458most ancient writer of the heathen world.
459In
460what age he wrote is uncertain: but his history
461was composed in the Pheenician language, and
462its materials collected from the. archives of the
463Pheenician cities.
464It was translated into Greek
465by Philo Byblius, and for the preservation of
466these fragments we are indebted to the care of
467Eusebius.
468?
469The Cosmogony* I shall have occasion to re-
470fer to hereafter: as one of the most ancient, it is
471extremely valuable, and as it speaks more plainly
472than the rest, it affords a key to their interpre- —
473tation.
474The Generations contain many very curious
475passages.
476In the first} is an allusion to the fall:
477in the second Genus may be Cain: after which
478we lose the traces of similarity : at the fifth { there
479is an interruption.
480But taking up the thread of
481inquiry, at the end, in Taautus or Thoyth,§ we
482may recognize A thothis,| the second king of Egypt,
483the Hermes Trismegistus, who again{] appears as
484_ the adviser of Cronus.

495then corresponds with Mizraim, the first king of
496Egypt, the Menes and Mines of the dynasties.*
497In the preceding generation is Amynus, Amon, or
498Ham, the same with the Cronus,t of what by the
499historian is supposed to bea different but contem-
500porary line.
501An ascent higher we find, Agrus,
502the husbandman, who was worshipped in Phe-
503nicia as the greatest of the gods: he corresponds
504with Noah, the Ouranus of the other line, whose
505original name was Epigeus or Autochthon.
506Sanchoniatho seems to have been a very. dili-
507cent inquirer, and intimates at’the conclusion {
508that the generations contain the real history of
509those early times, stripped of the fictions and
510allegories with which it had been obscured by the
511son of Thabion, the first hierophant of Pheenicia.
512That such is the case, we are assured by Philo
513Byblius, in the remarks on Sanchoniatho with
514which he prefaces his translation of the work.
515The passage also informs us that the history thus
516disguised was handed down to Isiris, the brother
517of Chna the first Pheenician, apparently alluding
518to Mizraim the brother of Canaan.
519It is very remarkable that he has placed thine
520characters in the true order of succession, though
521in all the traditions of the heathens they are ge-
522nerally confounded with one another.
523It is also
524remarkable that Sanchoniatho is almost the only

529heathen writer upon antiquities who makes no
530direct mention of the deluge, though several ob-
531scure allusions to it may be found in the course
532of the fragment.
533Were we assured of his silence
534upon the point in the parts-of his work that have
535been lost, the omission might still be accounted
536for from his avowed determination to suppress
537what he considered merely allegorical,
538for he
539would find the traditions of the deluge so inti-
540mately blended with those relating to the creation,
541that in endeavouring to disengage the truth from
542the fable he might easily be induced to suppose
543that they related to the same event.
544For explanation of his fragment upon the
545mystical sacrifice of the Pheenicians,* I must
546- refer to the very curious dissertations by Bryant T
547and Mr. Faber.{
548Sanchoniatho wrote also a
549history of the serpent, a single fragment{ of
550which is preserved by Eusebius.
551In the fragments of Berossus again we have
552perhaps some few traces of the antediluvian world.
553Like Sanchoniatho, Berossus seems to have com-
554_
555posed his work with a serious regard for truth.
556’ He was a Babylonian by birth, and flourished in
557the reign of Alexander the Great, and resided for
558some years at Athens.
559Asa priest of Belus, he
560possessed every advantage which the records of

566the temple and the learning and traditions of the
567Chaldeans could afford.
568He appears to have
569sketched his history of the earlier times from the
570representations upon the walls of the temple.*
571From written and traditionary knowledge he must
572have learned several points too well authenticated
573to be called in question; and correcting the one
574by the other, and at the same time blending them
575as usual with Mythology, he has produced the
576strange history before us.
577The first fragment preserved by Alexander
578Polyhistor + is extremely valuable, and contains
579a store of very curious information.
580The first
581book of the history apparently opens naturally
582enough with a description of Babylonia.
583Then
584referring to the paintings, the author finds the
585first series a kind of preface to the rest.
586All men
587of every nation appear assembled in Chaldza :{
588among them is introduced a personage who is
589represented as their instructor in the arts and
590sciences, and informing them of the events which —
591had previously taken place.
592Unconscious that
593Noah
594is represented
595under the character
596of
597Oannes, Berossus describes him, from the hiero-
598glyphical delineation, as a being literally com-
599pounded of a fish and a man, and as passing the
600\
601natural, instead of the diluvian night in the ocean,
602-
603with other circumstances indicative of his cha-
604racter and life.

617again that of animals, and of the heavenly bodies.

620and of this the two succeeding fragments} seem
621to have been extracts.
622The historian, as usual,
623has appropriated the history of the world to
624Chaldea:
625He ‘finds nine persons, probably re-
626presented as kings, preceding Noah, who is again
627introduced under the name Xisuthrus,
628and he
629supposes that the representation was that of the
630first dynasty of the Chaldean kings.
631From the
632universal consent of history and tradition he was
633well assured that Alorus or Orion, the Nimrod
634of the Scriptures, was the founder of Babylon
635and the first king : consequently he places him at
636the top, and Xisuthrus follows as the tenth. The
637destruction of the records by Nabonasar|| left
638him to fill up the intermediate names as he could:
639and who are inserted, is not easy so to determine.{]

650Berossus has given also a full and accurate
651description of the deluge,* which is wonderfully
652consonant with the Mosaic account.
653We have
654also a similar account, or it may be an epitome
655of the same} from the Assyrian history of Abyde-
656nus, who was a disciple of Aristotle, and a
657copyist from Berossus.
658I have given alsoa small
659extract{ from the Fragments of Nicholaus Da-
660mascenus, relative to the deluge and the ark,
661whose wreck is said by him as well as Berossus,
662Chrysostom, and other writers, to have remained
663upon Ararat even at the very time in which they
664wrote.
665Mankind appear to have dwelt some time
666in Armenia, and the Patriarch allotted to his
667descendants the different regions of the earth,
668with commands to separate into distinct commu-
669nities.
670His injunctions, however, were disobeyed,
671.
672and great numbers, perhaps all the human race,
673started from Armenia in a body, and, according
674to the Scriptures, journied westward, but accord-
675ing to Berossus, travelled by a circuitous route
676to the plains of Shinar.
677By combining the two
678narratives, we may conclude that they followed
679the winding course of the Euphrates, till they
680halted upon those celebrated plains, where the
681enterprising spirit of Nimrod tempted him to as-

686pire to the dominion of the world, and to found
687the Tower and City of Babel as the metropolis of
688his future universal empire.
689Upon the Tower of Babel and the events con-
690nected with it, will be found some very interest-
691ing fragments from Abydenus,* from Hestizus,t}
692a very ancient Greek writer, from the Babylonian
693Sibyl,{ and from Eupolemus.§ I have added also
694a curious extract from the Sibylline oracles.||
695In
696these fragments are detailed the erection of the
697Tower, the dispersion of its contrivers, and the
698confusion of the languages; with the additional
699circumstances of the violent destruction of the
700building,{] and the Titanian war, which forms so
701remarkable an event in all traditions of the
702heathens.
703Previously to the erection of the Tower, men
704appear very generally to have apostatized from
705the patriarchal worship.
706About this time a fur-
707|
708ther deviation from the truth took place; and
709upon the first and more simple corruption was
710engrafted an elaborate system of idolatry.

7174] Upon the rebuilding of Babylon, the Tower was completed
718most probably on the original plan.
719It is described by Hero-
720dotus as a pyramid of eight steps, about seven hundred feet high.
721Its ruins, which are still known upon the spot as the Birs Nem-
722brod, or the tower of Nimrod, are described by Sir R. K. Porter,
723as a prodigious pile of unburnt bricks cemented with mud and
724reeds in horizontal layers, still rising to the enormous height of
725about two hundred and fifty feet.
p. 29

727account of these deviations will be found in the
728extracts from Epiphanius, Cedrenus, and the
729Paschal chronicle.*
730What is mentioned under
731the name of Barbarism, was probably the pri-
732meval patriarchal worship.
733It was succeeded by
734a corrupted form of superstition which is known
735among the ancients under the name of Scuthism,
736or Scythism, which was most prevalent from the
737flood to the building of the Tower.
738The new
739corruption, at that time introduced by Nimrod,
740was denominated lonism,t or Hellenism: and
741both are still flourishing in the East under the well-
742known appellations of Brahmenism and Budd-
743hism ; whose priests appear to have continued in
744an uninterrupted succession from the Brahmanes
745and Germanes, the philosophical sects of India
746mentioned by Megasthenes { and Clitarchus.§
747By the introduction of a more degenerate
748superstition, Nimrod appears to have aimed at
749.
750the establishment of an universal monarchy in
751himself and his descendants, of which Babylon
752was to have been the metropolis, and the Tower,
753the central temple of their idolatries.

764attended him seem to have entered into the pro-
765ject, so far as he might have thought proper to
766divulge it, and to have assisted in the erection of
767the tower and city. But subsequent events shew
768that the proposed form of government and system
769—
770of theology, though asquiesced in by the majority,
771did not command universal approbation.
772And
773the whole project was marred by the miraculous
774interposition of the Almighty.
775What concurring circumstances might have
776operated to the dispersion, we have no clue to in
777the narrative of Moses.
778He mentions the mira-
779culous confusion of the languages, and that the
780Lord scattered the people abroad from thence
781upon the face of all the earth ; and they left off to
782build the city.
783But if we may credit the heathen
784accounts above referred
785to, with
786which
787the
788Hindoo, and indeed almost every remnant of
789traditionary lore concur ; aschism, most probably
790both of a political and religious nature, was the
791. result ; a bitter war was carried on, or at least a
792bloody field ‘was fought ; from which the Scuths,
793defeated and excommunicated by their brethren,
794betook themselves,
795‘in haughty independence, to
796the mountains of Cashgar and the north:* whilst
797some violent and supernatural catastrophe, by
798the overthrow of the Tower, completed the dis-
799persion.

802The Scythic nations became very generally
803Nomade, but sometimes settled in various parts.
804Of what family they were has been a subject of
805long and intricate dispute.
806‘The ancient chrono-
807logists have, almost without exception, supposed
808them of the race of Japhet, the eldest son of Noah:
809that they were the sons of Cush has also been in-
810sisted on with great learning and ingenuity.* But
811if all the nations, or even the upper classes of those
812nations, which bear the name, be the sons of
813Cush, one-third of the present human race must
814be the descendants of that patriarch.
815Indeed,
816before the introduction of Ionism, Epiphanius
817and others appear to have included all mankind
818under the name of Scuths.
819The first apostacy
820might have been introduced by Cush, and its

822the same
823as Cuth or Cush, the root of the names
824Chusas
825Chasas Cassians Cuszeans or Chruseans, Chusdim Chasdim
826or Chaldzeans, Cotti or Goths and many others, appears too
827general for a patronymic.
828All the northern nations were Scuthic,
829the Scuths of Touran.
830The Scuths of Iran occupied the entire
831Asiatic Ethiopia, containing the Iranian territories of the As-
832syrian Empire, extending from the Euphrates to the Indus, and
833from the Caspian to the Ocean.
834African Ethiopia or Nubia with
835the adjoining territories was also Cuthic.
836There were Indo-
837Scythe, Celto-Scythe, and even Ionic-Scythe.
838The Belge in
839Gaul, the Pelasgi in Greece, the Sacas or Saxons, the Pelestim
840_
841Philistim and Pheenicians, the Sarmans Sarmatians and Germans
842were Scuths.
843In short, the term is to be found in every corner
844of the earth, and may be traced in America and in Lapland, as
845well as in China and Japan.

848followers have borne his name; which the suc-
849ceeding heresy of Nimrod could not obliterate.
850The Scythian nations of Touran and the
851North were generally addicted to the Scythic su-
852—
853perstition ; and whenever they rolled back the
854tide of war upon their ancient rivals; the idols
855temples and cities were the objects upon which
856they satiated their revenge. They were esteemed
857excommunicated, and of the Giant race, Ne-
858phelim, Rephaim and Anakim.
859The Scuths of
860-
861Iran were also of the Giant race, with Nimrod
862as their chief. Of the Titanian war there appears
863_
864to be a double aspect.
865When the Scuths of
866Touran are the Giants, the war between them
867and the Ionim is the subject of the legend ; and
868they are the Giants cast out into Cimmerian
869darkness, and buried under mountains.
870The
871other view presents both parties conjointly before
872the schism, as the Nephelim, Apostates or Giants,
873engaged in carrying on the war against Heaven
874itself.
875And in these accounts we find more fre-
876quent allusions to the Tower and its supernatural
877overthrow.

888government to Nineveh and founded the great
889Iranian empire, or whether that empire and city
890were founded by Assur and the sons of Shem, is
891still a subject of dispute.
892We find Nimrod, how-
893ever, under the well-known title of Alorus, at the

900The first dynasty of Chaldean Kings} is
901placed by almost all chronologists as the first
902Iranian dynasty, that of Nimrod under the name
903of Evechius, and his immediate descendants.
904Evexius is also placed by Polyhistor as the first
905Chaldean king.4
906The dynasty of the Arabian
907kings of Chaldza|| is placed by Eusebius, Syn-
908cellus and others, as well as by Berossus, next in
909the order of succession. They have likewise been
910supposed to be a Scythic nation, which broke in
911upon the empire from the Scythian settlements
912of Cashgar, and obtained possession either of the
913entire empire, or only of the city of Babylon,
914during the period of its desolation, with the
915plains of Shinar and the country round the head
916of the Persian gulf, from whence they were ex-
917pelled, and discharged themselves upon Palestine

926Next in succession, according to Eusebius

929the preceding, came the long line of the great
930|

932empire of the world for ten or twelve centuries,

938cession that are extant, will be found. among the

963empire.
964The Babylonians acquired a temporary inde-
965pendence at the fall of the Assyrian empire, but
966after two or three short reigns they were subdued
967by Senecherib.*
968Syria also became an inde-
969pendent kingdom, and prospered for a time, till
970again reduced under the Assyrian yoke.
971Persia
972at the same time arose, and alone maintained its
973independence against the growing power of the
974Medes and the new Assyrian dynasty, till the
975successes of Cyrus raised it above them all, and
976vested the empire of. the world in the Persian

1002He transferred the seat of

1006|
1007and west, by the reduction of Syria, Pheenicia,
1008Judea, Egypt, and Arabia; an accurate account

1010On the
1011death of his father, Nebuchadnezzar succeeded
1012to the throne.
1013Concerning him we have several
1014very interesting fragments from Berossus,t and

1020brated walls, and brazen gates ; its temples, pa-
1021laces, and hanging gardens.
1022The prophesy of
1023Nebuchadnezzar,{ probably alludes to the public
1024notification of Daniel’s interpretation of his vision.

1050The intense interest which Egyptian history
1051has excited, from the discovery of the interpreta-
1052tion of the Hieroglyphics, has induced me to
1053spare no labour or expence in rendering this part
1054of the work as perfect as circumstances would
1055allow.
1056The Laterculus or Canon of the Kings of
1057Thebes,* was compiled from the archives of that
1058city, by Eratosthenes, the librarian of Ptolemzus
1059Philadelphus.
1060It is followed by the Old Egyptian
1061Chronicle, with a Latin version of the same,
1062from the Excerpta Barbara, and another from the

1064a summary of the dynasties of Egypt.

1092—
1093is preserved by Syncellus only: from the begin-
1094ning of the eighteenth it is continued also in the
1095fragments of Eusebius: and from hence to the con-
1096clusion, four different versions of it will be found.
1097\To these are added the Canons of all the kings
1098of Egypt, mentioned by Diodorus Siculus} and
1099Herodotus.{
1100They were originally compiled by
1101Scaliger, but 1 have corrected them and given

1135by any preconceived opinion.
1136Ata time, when indefatigable research is every
1137day bringing to light new and interesting circum-
1138stances, it would be absurd. to attempt to give
1139any thing but the roughest outline of Egyptian
1140history.
1141I shall merely observe, then, that after
1142the dispersion from Babel, the children of Miz-
1143raim went off to Egypt, of which they appear to
1144have continued some time in undisturbed posses-
1145sion.
1146Menes Misor or Mestraim, the Mizraim
1147of the Scriptures, and planter of the nation, is
1148naturally placed as the first sovereign of the united
1149realm, at the head of all the catalogues.
1150And
1151perhaps the dominion of Athothis was equally
1152extensive ;. for his name occurs in the Laterculus
1153of. Eratosthenes, and as the Thoth or Taautus of
1154Sanchoniatho..
1155After him the country seems to
1156have been divided into several independent mo-
1157narchies, some of whose princes may perhaps be
1158found among the fourteen first dynasties. That the
1159country was so divided, and that the first dynasties
1160were not considered successive by the ancients, we
1161have the authority of Artapanus* and Eusebius.

1168from Josephus, gives an account of the invasion
1169and expulsion of a race of foreigners, who were
1170styled Hycsos or Shepherd kings; whose princes —
1171are identified with the seventeenth dynasty of all
1172the Canons except that given by Syncellus as the
1173canon of Africanus, in which they are placed as
1174the fifteenth.
1175Of what family they were, whence
1176they came, and to what country they retired, have
1177been the subjects of almost as many hypotheses
1178-as writers; I shall not venture a remark upon a
1179problem, of which there is every reason shortly
1180to expect a satisfactory solution.
1181Josephus and
1182the Fathers confound them with the Israelites,
1183who appear rather to be referred to by the second
1184fragmentt as the lepers, who were so cruelly ill-
1185treated by the Egyptians, and afterwards laid
1186waste the country, assisted by a second invasion
1187of the Shepherds.
1188To these fragments I have
1189subjoined six{ other very curious notices of the
1190exodus of the Israelites and the final expulsion of
1191the Shepherds ; which events appear to have been
1192connected with one another, as well as with the
1193emigration of the Danaan colonies to Greece,
1194not only in time, but by circumstances of a poli-
1195tical nature,{ and to have occurred during the
1196sovereignty of the eighteenth dynasty.
1197Tacitus
1198has also noticed the exodus, but in terms evi-

1204dently copied from some of those which I have
1205given: we have but few and scanty notices of the
1206kings of Egypt, even in Diodorus and Hero-
1207dotus.
1208Its conquest by Nebucchadnezzar is. re-
1209lated by Berossus,* and after two or three. tem-
1210porary gleams of independence, it sunk at. length
1211into a province of the Persian empire, and from
1212that day to the present, according to the denun-
1213ciation of the prophet,t Egypt has been. the
1214basest of kingdoms,
1215and under the yoke of
1216strangers.
1217The Tyrian Annals are fragments which were
1218quoted by Josephus from the lost histories of
1219Dius and Menander. They agree perfectly with
1220the scriptural accounts, and furnish some par-
1221ticulars in addition.
1222The correspondence of
1223Solomon and Hiram, the foundation of Carthage,
1224and the invasion, conquests, and repulse of Sal-
1225manasar; the siege of Tyre by Nebuchadnessar,
1226and its subsequent government under judges, are
1227historical additions of great interest and import-
1228ance.
1229The Periplus of Hanno is an account of the
1230earliest voyage of discovery extant.
1231It was taken
1232from an original and apparently official document
1233which was suspended in the temple of Saturn, at
1234Carthage.
1235Falconer has edited it as a separate

1239work, and gives two dissertations on it ; the first,
1240explanatory of its contents; and the second, a
1241refutation of Dodwell’s reflections, on its authen-
1242ticity.
1243Ihave followed Falconer both in his text
1244|
1245and translation.
1246With respect to its age, Fal-
1247coner agrees with Bougainville in referring it to
1248the sixth century before the Christian era.
1249The Periplus is prefaced by a few lines, re-
1250citing a decree of the. Carthaginians,
1251relative
1252to the voyage and its objects:
1253and is then
1254continued by the commander,
1255or one of his
1256companions,
1257as a narrative, which commences
1258from the time the fleet had cleared the Straits of
1259Gibraltar.
1260Bougainville has given a chart of the
1261voyage, which may be found, together with the
1262corresponding maps of Ptolemeus and D’ Anville,
1263in Falconer’s treatise.
1264It may be sufficient, how-
1265ever, to remark that ‘Thymiaterium, the first of
1266the colonies planted'by Hanno, occupies a posi-
1267tion. very nearly, perhaps precisely the same with
1268that of the present commercial city.of Mogadore:
1269The promontory of Soloeis corresponds with Cape
1270Bojador, nearly opposite to the Canaries.
1271Cari-
1272contichos, Gytte, Acra, Melitta and Arambys
1273are placed between Cape Bojador and the Rio
1274d’Ouro which is supposed to be the Lixus.
1275Cerne is laid down as the island of Arguin under
1276the southern Cape Blanco: the river Chretes
1277perhaps is the St. John, and the next large
1278river mentioned is the Senegal.
1279Cape Palmas

1281and ‘Cape Three Points, are supposed to corres-
1282pond respectively with the Western and Southern
1283Horns, and some island in the bight of Benin,
1284with that of Gorille.
1285Vossius, however, sup-
1286poses the Western Horn to be Cape Verd, and
1287the Southern, Cape Palmas, in which case the
1288Sierra Leone will answer to the Ochema Theon
1289the Chariot of the Gods.
1290The description of the Troglodyte, as men
1291of-a different form or appearance, may imply-a
1292change from the Moresco to the Negro race,
1293Some passages, quoted by Falconer from Bruce’s
1294_ travels, explain the extraordinary fires and nightly
1295merriment which alarmed the voyagers, as cus-
1296toms common among many of the negro tribes,
1297and which had repeatedly fallen within the scope
1298of his own observations.
1299The Gorille are sup-
1300posed to be: large monkeys or wild men as the
1301NaMe éybpono &ypos May in fact import.
1302The Periplus is followed by a-strange account
1303of the African settlements, from the books of
1304Hiempsal king.
1305of Numidia, preserved by Sallust.
1306Of the Indian fragments of Megasthenes, ‘the
1307most remarkable ‘has already been referred to.
1308In the two great divisions of the Philosophical
1309sects, into the Brahmanes and ‘Germanes, we
1310may doubtless recognize the predecessors of ‘the

1313present Brachmans and Buddhists of Hindostan.
1314They are likewise mentioned by Clitarchus * as
1315the Brahmanes and Pramne. The castes of India
1316are also described at length, | and have continued
1317with some variations to the present day.
1318The an-—
1319tiquity of such a division is very great, and per-
1320haps originated at the dispersion, as it prevailed
1321chiefly among the Ionic nations, while the Scythic
1322tribes prided themselves upon their independence,
1323and the nobility of the whole race. Megasthenes
1324is reputed to have been a Persian, and an officer in
1325the army of Alexander in his expedition to India,
1326and was employed upon several negociations of
1327consequence.
1328I have next given two short notices of some
1329celebrated
1330islands in the Atlantic and Indian
1331oceans.
1332The first,{ upon the Atlantic island, is
1333quoted by Proclus, from the Ethiopic history of
1334Marcellus, in illustration of the passages of Plato
1335in the Timeus relative to the same.
1336Some have
1337looked upon the relation as worthy of credit, and
1338confirmed by the broken nature of all the islands,
1339which lie scattered between the old and the new
1340world, regarding them as relics of a former tract
1341which has been absorbed.
1342The second fragment
1343|
1344from Euemerus may relate to the islands in the
1345Indian Archipelago ; though it is highly probable

1350that both may refer only to the White island of
1351the West, so celebrated in the Mythological le-
1352gends of almost all nations, and in none more
1353than in the antiquities of the British islands.
1354As J profess not to enter into the details, but
1355merely to provide as it were the raw materials, I
1356shall dwell but little upon Chronology.
1357By far
1358the most authentic record that has come down to
1359|
1360us is the Canon of Ptolemeus.*
1361It commences
1362from the Chaldean era of Nabonasar, and is
1363continued to the conclusion of the reign of Anto-
1364ninus Pius.
1365In calculating its chronology, how-
1366ever, it must be observed, that although it starts
1367from this Chaldean era, its years are the Sothoic
1368years of Egypt, consisting only of three hundred
1369and sixty-five days, without any intercalation.
1370Among the Chronological fragments at the end
1371of the work will be found the passage of Censo-
1372rinus,f so important in determining the celebrated
1373epochs of ancient history; and likewise an ex-
1374tract from Theon Alexandrinus,{ from the ma-
1375nuscripts of the King of France, partly cited
1376by Larcher in his translation of Herodotus.§ For
1377the complete extract, I beg leave to return my
1378thanks to Mons. Champollion Figeac, and Mons.
1379Hase librarian to the king.
1380Several useful chro-
1381nological passages will be found scattered over

1387the work: some also are collected at the end of
1388the Dynasties.*
1389I have added also two ‘short
1390notices: of the Sarus and: Nerus: ofthe Chal-
1391deans. :
1392.
1393It is remarkable, that the three great eras of
1394ancient: history commence within thirty years of
1395one another, and:are commonly fixed:
1396The first Olympiad, B.C. 777.
1397The foundation of Rome, B. C..753.
1398And the era of Nabonasar, B. €. 747.
1399The commencement of the reigniof Diocle-
1400sian is determined by the observed and calculated
1401_
1402eclipses to bein the year A. D.:284. The begin-
1403ning of the:great Sothoic period
1404of 1641, Sothoie
1405or vague years, equivalent to 1640:°Julian years,
1406is fixed about the year B..C. 1321, or 1325.

1408ing: this great embolismic period, the first day of
1409the Egyptian year; called Thoth, from the omission

1416tory of the world: as contained’ in the’ fragments
1417to the times of Grecian record, I shall’ endeavour,
1418in. like manner;) to trace a faint. outline | of its
1419Theology...

1423From Babel, the centre of their abominations,
1424the heathens carried off the same objects of ado-
1425ration, the same superstitious observances, and
1426the same.legendary tales, which, however varied
1427and confused, may without difficulty be identified
1428‘throughout
1429the world.
1430Among the pastoral
1431tribes, the Scythic doctrines almost universally
1432prevailed ; yet in subsequent times they also fell
1433into idolatry : while the lonic nations carried their
1434additions and corruptions to such a length, that
1435the original and more simple doctrines became
1436obliterated among the vulgar; and were retained
1437only by the philosophers and priests, and some-
1438times were even re-imported from abroad.
1439The
1440more elaborate corruptions of lonism appear to
1441have prevailed originally in the Iranian territories
1442only, and to have passed to India and to Egypt,
1443to have spread themselves with civilization over
1444Greece, and subsequently over the whole Roman
1445world.
1446By foreign conquest and other circum-
1447stances, the two systems were often amalgamated
1448into one.
1449The more elaborate and corrupted
1450form of lonism and idolatry would catch the
1451attention of the casual observer as the religion of
1452the land; while the deeper doctrines, which re-
1453tained much of their primitive simplicity, were
1454wrapped in mystery, and communicated only to
1455the initiated.
1456|
1457Most nations, in process of time, became more
1458attached to particular parts, and retained but

1462fragments of the general system.
1463But it is still
1464in existence, and preserved almost entire, both in
1465its Scythic and Ionic form, as the Buddhism and
1466Brahmenism of Hindostan.
1467By comparing all
1468the varied legends of the west and east in con-
1469junction, we may obtain. the following outline of
1470the theology of the ancients.
1471It recognizes, as the primary elements of all
1472things, two independent principles, of the nature
1473of male and female.
1474And these, in mystic union
1475as the soul and body, constitute the great Her-
1476maphroditic deity, the One, the Universe itself,
1477consisting still of the two separate elements of its
1478—
1479composition, modified, though combined in one
1480individual, of which all things were regarded but
1481as parts.
1482From the two, or more frequently
1483from the male, proceeded three sons or Hypos-
1484tases ; which, when examined severally, are each
1485one and the same with the principle from which
1486they sprung: but when viewed conjointly, they
1487constitute a triad, emanating from a fourth yet
1488older divinity, who, by a mysterious act of self-
1489triplication, becomes three, while he yet remains
1490but one, each member of the triad being ulti-
1491mately resolvable into the monad.*
1492With this is
1493connected the doctrine of a succession of similar
1494worlds.
1495At the conclusion
1496of each revolving
1497period, the world is dissolved,
1498alternately by
1499* See Faber-at length upon this subject, Pag. Id. Vol. II.
1500,

1501XXXV
1502flood and fire ; and all its varied forms and parts
1503are absorbed into the two primeval principles,
1504which then remain in the loveliness of their exist-
1505ence.
1506After a certain interval their re-union
1507|
1508commences, and with it the reconstruction of
1509another world.
1510As before, the first production of
1511this world is the triad, and the same heroes and
1512persons re-appear ; and the same events are again
1513transacted, till the time arrives for another dis-
1514solution.
1515Such was the system in its original
1516form ; it was a foundation of materialism, upon
1517which was raised a superstructure of idolatry.
1518The most remarkable feature in the heathen
1519theology is the multiplicity of its gods.
1520The
1521easy temper of polytheism, as it has been called,
1522hesitated not to adopt the divinities of the sur-
1523rounding nations; while the deification, not only of
1524heroes and kings, but of the virtues and vices,
1525with the genii of the woods and waters, moun-
1526tains and cities, contributed to introduce new
1527and strange inmates into the Pantheon.
1528But if
1529we eject these modern intruders, if we restore to
1530their original seats the imported deities, such as
1531Pan to Arcadia, Hermes to Egypt, Osiris to
1532Memphis, Hercules to Tyre, and Dionysus to.
1533India ; and if we investigate the origin of each,
1534we shall find every nation, notwithstanding the
1535variety of names, acknowledging the same deities
1536and the same system of theology: and, however
1537humble any of the deities may appear in the
p. 50
1538XXXVi
1539Pantheons of Greece and Rome, each, who has
1540any claim to antiquity, will be found ultimately,
1541if not immediately, resolvable into the original
1542God or Goddess, into one or other of the two-
1543primeval principles.
1544|
1545In conducting such an investigation, a very
1546singular circumstance presents itself in the mani-
1547fold character of these deities.
1548Their human or
1549terrestrial appearance, as mere mortals deified is
1550the most obvious; as the sun, moon, elements,
1551and powers of nature, they assume a celestial or
1552physical aspect.
1553And if we turn to the writings
1554—
1555of the philosophers, we shall find them sustain-
1556ing a character more abstract and metaphysical.
1557Yet under all these different forms, the same
1558general system is preserved.
1559In his terrestrial character, the chief Hero
1560God, under whatever name, is claimed by every
1561nation as
1562its progenitor and founder.
1563And
1564not only is he celebrated as the king of that
1565country in particular, but of the whole world.
1566He is exposed to some alarming danger from the
1567sea, or an evil principle or monster by which the
1568sea is represented.
1569He is nevertheless rescued by
1570some friendly female aid, sometimes concealed in
1571a cavern or in the moon, or preserved in a death-
1572like sleep, borne upon a snake, or floating on an
1573island or a lotus, though more frequently in a boat
1574er ark.
1575At length he awakens from his slumber,
1576subdues his enemy, and lands upon a mountain.
p. 51
1577XXXvVii
1578He then reorganizes the world, and becomes him-
1579self the father primarily of three sons, and through
1580them, of the human race; not unfrequently with
1581some allusions to the dove and rainbow.
1582In fact,
1583in his human character he was the great father of
1584mankind ; but he may not only be identified with
1585Noah but with Adam likewise.
1586The one was
1587looked upon as the re-appearance of the other,
1588and both an incarnation of the Deity.
1589In his immediate celestial character the God
1590is universally held to be the Sun; but the cha-
1591racter of the great Goddess is of a more complex
1592description.
1593As the companion of the man, she
1594is the ark; which was regarded not only as his
1595consort, but his daughter, as the work of his own
1596hands; and his mother, from whose womb he
1597again emerged, as an infant, to a second life; and
1598his preserver during the catastrophe of the de-
1599luge. As the companion of the Sun she is either
1600the earth or moon: not that the distinctions be-
1601©
1602tween the human and celestial characters are
1603accurately maintained; for they are so strangely
1604blended together, that the adventures applicable
1605to one are frequently, and sometimes purposely,
1606misapplied to the other.
1607Thus, whilst the Man
1608_
1609is said to have entered into, been concealed in,
1610and have again issued from the ark, the moon,
1611and the earth, indifferently, the Sun is fabled to
1612have been plunged into the ocean, to have sailed
1613upon a lotus, to have taken refuge in a floating
p. 52
1614XXXVill
1615island, and to have dwelt upon a sacred mountain
1616left dry by the retiring flood.*
1617|
1618It has been often remarked, that the Theo-
1619gonies and. Cosmogonies of the heathens were —
1620the same.
1621In addition to those naturally con-
1622stituting a part of the work, I have given the
1623most remarkable of the Hermetic, Orphic, and
1624Pythagorean accounts; which will be found, with
1625the celebrated collection from Damascius, under
1626a separate head.{
1627By comparing these with the
1628Cosmogonies of Sanchoniatho, Berossus, and the
1629rest, we may, without much difficulty, arrive at
1630the following conclusion:
1631that the Ether and
1632Chaos, or,, in the language of the Philosophers,
1633Mind and Matter, were the two primeval, eternal,
1634and independent principles of the universe; the
1635one regarded as a vivifying and intellectual prin-
1636ciple, the other as a watery Chaos, boundless, and
1637without form: both which continued for a time
1638without motion, and in darkness.
1639By a mystic
1640union of the two was formed the great Herma-.
1641phroditic deity, the One, the universal World; of
1642which the Chaotic matter presently became the
1643body, and the Etherial Intellectual principle the
1644soul.
1645As soon as the union. had commenced,
1646from the Ether sprung forth the triad, Phanes or
1647Eros, a triple. divinity, the most prominent cha-
1648racter of which was Light.
1649He was the same
1650with the Soul of the World, and the Intelligible
1651* See Faber, Pag. Id.
1652> p. 283, and following.
p. 53
1653XXXIX
1654triad so largely insisted upon by the Platonists:
1655The gross chaotic elements of Earth and Water
1656were formed into the terraqueous globe, while the
1657disposing Ether, in the character of Phanes, un-
1658der some three of the conditions of Light, Air,
1659Heat, Fire, Ether, Flame, or Spirit, composed a
1660physical trinity concentred in the Sun, the soul
1661and ruler of the world.
1662Or, according to the
1663more refined speculations, it consisted of a trinity
1664of mental powers, in which the Understanding,
1665Reason or Intellect, the Soul, Passions, Feelings
1666or Affections, Power, Counsel or Will, are va-
1667riously combined.
1668Viewed,
1669therefore,
1670either
1671under a physical or metaphysical aspect, it is
1672still a triad subordinate to, and emanating from
1673the more ancient Intellectual Ether, and into
1674which each person of the triad’ is again re-
1675solvable.*
1676With respect to the Physical triad, by com-
1677paring the heathen accounts with similar passages
1678in the Scriptures, though not decisive, yet so
1679preponderating does the evidence appear to me
1680upon this point, that if the school of Hutchinson
1681had not failed to establish their very elegant hy-
1682pothesis, as to the fact that the Fire, Light, and
1683Spirit or Air, were only three different condi-
1684tions of one and the same etherial fluid, appear-
1685ing as Fire at the orb of the Sun, as Light pro-
1686_

1689ceeding from it, and as Spirit returning to it,
1690I should not have hesitated to subscribe to the
1691opinion that such was the original trinity of the
1692Gentiles; a triad, nevertheless, subordinate to a
1693monad, which existed in the form of Ether pre-
1694viously to its assuming such conditions.

1696upon this subject can only be derived by analo-
1697gical reasoning from contemplation of the micro-
1698cosm of man.
1699To point out the close analogy
1700preserved in this particular between the Meta-
1701physical and Physical system before explained J —
1702would observe, that Man is a being compounded
1703of an Intellectual, and of a Material substance,
1704both of which were conceived by the ancients to
1705have pre-existed, before they became united in
1706the compound individual animal, the Man. When
1707thus united, they appear to have conceived a
1708triad of intellectual powers, the Intellect, the
1709Affections: Feelings or Emotions, and the Will
1710or Power of action.
1711But for further illustration
1712of these matters, and for such proof as can be
1713produced, I must refer to the disquisition at the
1714end.
1715Upon this subject, therefore, I cannot agree
1716with Mr. Faber in supposing that the trinita-
1717rian speculations of the Heathens originated in
1718the comeidence of Adam and Noah being each
1719the father of three sons;
1720for of the three dis-
1721tinct analogical systems the Metaphysical, of the
p. 55
1722xhi
1723Mind with its Faculties, and Matter,—the Physi-
1724eal, of the Ether with its conditions, and the
1725Chaos,—and the Human, of the Patriarch with
1726his three sons, and the universal mother the Ark
1727or Earth,—the last analogy is not only the most
1728imperfect, but according to all historical ac-
1729counts, Demonolatry was introduced subsequently
1730_to the worship of nature and the elements.
1731From the widely dispersed traditions upon
1732the subject, it is manifest that the circumstances
1733of the creation and the deluge were well known
1734to all mankind previously to the dispersion. And
1735the writings of Moses give to the chosen people,
1736not so much a new revelation as a correct, authen-
1737ticated and inspired account of circumstances,
1738which had then become partially obscured by
1739time and abused by superstition.
1740The formless
1741watery Chaos and the Etherial substance of the
1742heavens, enfolding and passing over. its surface
1743as a mighty wind, are the first principles both of
1744the sacred and profane cosmogonies; but they
1745are reclaimed by Moses as the materials, created
1746by the immediate agency of an Almighty power.
1747The subsequent process of formation so com-
1748pletely corresponds in both systems, that if they
1749_ were not borrowed the one from the other, (a po-
1750sition which cannot be maintained,) they must
1751each have been ultimately derived from the com-
1752mon source of revelation.
1753Similar considerations

1758among the nations, and an examination of what
1759that Trinity was composed, forces upon me the
1760—
1761conviction, that the trinitarian doctrine, as it is
1762now believed, was one of the original and funda-
1763mental tenets of the Patriarchal religion; that the
1764analogy between the Microcosm, as pointed out,
1765and the then current accounts of the creation,
1766became the stumbling block, which set mankind
1767to refine upon the truth; that hence they fell into
1768the errors of attributing eternity to matter, : of
1769placing a Monad above the Trinity, with the
1770Pantheistic opinion that the Deity was no other
1771than the universe itself..
1772The doctrine of the
1773—
1774succession of worlds, the Metempsychosis, and
1775Demonolatry would follow naturally enough by
1776an extension of their system from the particular
1777circumstances of the creation to those attendant
1778upon the deluge.
1779By the pride of false philo-
1780sophy they forsook the truth of revelation, and
1781sunk into materialism, into the worship of the
1782elements, of man and beasts, and into idolatry
1783with all its:-attendant abominations.
1784‘When
1785they knew God, they glorified: him not as ‘God;
1786neither were thankful; but became vain in their
1787imaginations, and their foolish heart was’ dark-
1788ened.
1789Professing themselves
1790to be wise, they
1791became fools; and changed the glory of the in-

1799To reclaim a world so fallen, the great mani-
1800festations of the Almighty from time to time have
1801taken place, not only at the most civilized
1802as
1803well as celebrated periods of history, but upon
1804the spots then best calculated for the general dis-
1805semination of truth among the heathens.
1806The
1807geographical situation of Palestine,
1808chosen it
1809may be for the seat of universal empire, is the
1810most remarkable upon earth for the facility of
1811communication

1813it affords

1822cellently adapted for the universal

1825it was for the general instruction of mankind,

1828the empires of Egypt and Assyria.

1846During the revolutionary violence consequent
1847upon the downfall of the ancient Assyrian em-
1848pire, the same merciful Providence kept up a
1849communication with the kingdoms which sprung
1850out of its ruins, by the mission of Jonah to Ni-
1851neveh, by the connexion of the princes of Sa-
1852maria. with Syria, and by the dispersion of the
1853ten tribes. over the territories of the Medes and
1854|
1855Assyrians .by Salmanasar: and upon the full
1856re-establishment of the empire at Babylon, a
1857knowledge of the truth was diffused far and wide
1858by the captivity of the
1859Jews themselves.
1860The conversion of Nebuchadnezzar, and the
1861decrees of himself and his successors, both of the
1862Assyrian and Persian line, in favour
1863of the truth,
1864must have been attended with at least some tem-
1865porary effect upon the religious and philosophical:
1866sentiments of the East.
1867And such an effect may.
1868be clearly traced in the very general reformation.
1869of the systems and superstitions which about this
1870period took place.
1871Among the Persians, themselves

1873people, this reformation appears to have re-ani-
1874mated their zeal and enmity against the temples.
1875and idolatry of their Ionian rivals.
1876It may also
1877have led them to convert the two independent

1879principles of Mind and. Matter. into. spiritual
1880agents in opposition to one another, and to have
1881revived the unmingled worship of the Sun and
1882Fire, at first but as an emblem and image of the
1883Supreme, though it soon again degenerated into
1884the Sabaism of old.
1885The reformation may be
1886traced through Assyria, India, China and Egypt,
1887and.in those amendments and refinements: which
1888were shortly afterwards imported by. Pythagoras

1917placed the Efficient Cause as the Monad, Deity,
1918or Demiurgus.
1919This Duad was, nevertheless, re-
1920garded as two eternal and independent principles,
1921and by their combination the Deity formed the |
1922Sensible world, a living animal, composed of soul
1923and body.

1925thagorean Triad, occupying the same.
1926relative
1927situation with respect to the duad as in the more
1928ancient systems.
1929By this introduction of the
1930Ideal world, and the elevation of the deity above
1931the duad, the system lost something of the gross
1932materialism which had hitherto obtained, but it
1933|
1934lost, at the same time,. all knowledge of the an-
1935cient triad, which was now replaced by such
1936triads as were more conformable to the Pytha-
1937gorean mode, and of which the persons were often
1938subordinate
1939to, or comprehended within each
1940other, as genera and species.*.

1942The doctrines of Plato differ only in refine-
1943ment from the preceding.
1944If we admit the Par-
1945menides and the Timeus to embrace his com-
1946plete system, God and Matter, two originally in-
1947dependent principles, are held to be, as it were,
1948the extremities of that chain of being which com-
1949poses the universe.
1950Subordinate to the God, we
1951have the Intelligible world of Ideas or the Forms,
1952commencing, as the latter Platonists insist, with
1953the Intelligible triad : but whether Plato regarded
1954* See the Pythagorean fragments, p. 301.
p. 61
1955xlvii
1956this world of Ideas in the abstract as subsisting
1957only within the mind of the Deity, or whether he
1958attributed to it a distinct existence* without the
1959Mind, comprehending different orders of divine
1960super-essential beings, may well be questioned.
1961When the Deity or Demiurgus thought proper to
1962compose the world, he looked to this ideal world
1963as the exemplar, in whose likeness he constructed
1964his new work.
1965He impressed the disordered
1966material Chaos with the Forms, and rendered the
1967world a living animal, after the pattern of its ideal
1968prototype, consisting of a soul endued with Intel-
1969lect, and. of a body of which all beings compre-
1970hended in it, Gods Men Animals or’ material
1971species, are but the concrete individuals, of which
1972the abstract ideas unalterably subsist in the intel-
1973ligible world.
1974Though still supposed to continue
1975in existence, the Deity, as in the more ancient
1976systems, retires as effectually from the stage as
1977did the ancient Ether when superseded by the
1978Phanes.
1979And all the mundane operations are
1980carried on as before, by the Soul of the world.
1981While the Stoics and other schools retained
1982the ancient doctrines, and looked not further than
1983* Existence, according
1984to the ancients, implies essence ;
1985whereas the Ideal world was deemed super-essential: but I am
1986compelled to use the words to make myself understood ; for the
1987English language has not been sufficiently accommodated to
1988these metaphysical subtleties of the Greeks to supply the requi-
1989site terms.

1992the world itself, it is true that the Pythagoreans _
1993and Plato held.a God superior to the world; but
1994it is extremely doubtful whether they entertained
1995a sublimer conception of their great immediate
1996efficient cause, the Soul of the world, or indeed
1997of Soul in general, than the gross materialism of
1998a subtile ether.
1999They discouraged, likewise, the
2000tenet of the succession of worlds; though it was
2001subsequently revived by the later Platonists, by
2002whom. the Deity was supposed, at the predestined
2003time, to swallow up the world, first the sensible,
2004then the Ideal, and lastly Phanes the Intelligible
2005|
2006triad, and to remain in the solitude of his unity.
2007Much as has been said upon the Platonic
2008trinity, 1 must confess that I.can find fewer traces
2009of that doctrine in the writings of Plato than of
2010his less refined predecessors, the mythologists. I
2011have given such extracts as appear to me to
2012relate to the subject, together with a fragment of .
2013Amelius* which expressly mentions
2014the three
2015kings of Plato as identical with the Orphic trinity.
2016Dr. Morgan, in his essay upon the subject, satis-
2017factorily refutes the notion, that Plato regarded
2018the Logos as the second person of the trinity :f

2023of all things, made,” refers to a very different subject.

2030and upon this refutation he denies that Plato’
2031held the doctrine at all, more particularly, as from
2032the time of Plato to that of Ammonius Saccas
2033in the ‘third century, no disciple of his school
2034seems to have been aware that such a doctrine
2035was contained in his writings.
2036Perhaps, how-
2037ever, we may trace some obscure allusions to it
2038in the beginning of the second hypothesis of the
2039Parmenides and in the passages which I have
2040reason; and if destitute of reason,
2041he cannot attain wisdom.
2042The God, which imparted to man the knowledge of numbers, is
2043the Heaven, for there are eight powers contained in it akin to
2044each other, that of the Sun, of the Moon, &c. to whom, he says,
2045must be assigned equal honour— For let us not assign to one
2046the honour of the year, to another the honour of the month, and
2047to others none of that portion of time, in which each performs its
2048course in conjunction with the others, accomplishing that visible
2049order which reason, the most divine of all things (or of the Uni-
2050verse,) has established.
2051The no less celebrated passage from the Philebus, “Ore wits
2052€or yevovotys tov mavtwy aitiov, by which it is supposed that the
2053consubstantiality of the Logos with the first cause is asserted,
2054relates to the human. mind, and is the conclusion of an argument
2055which proves, that as ordinary fire is derived from the elemental,
2056and the human body from the elemental body of the world, so is
2057the human mind akin:to, or of the same nature with the Divine
2058mind, or Soul of the universe, the cause of all things.
2059These
2060and other less celebrated passages of Plato, when examined in
2061conjunction with this context, afford us, as Dr. Morgan justly
2062observes, no more foundation for supposing that Plato held
2063the doctrine of the Trinity than the following very curious: pas-
2064sage, which he produces from Seneca, gives. us ground to
2065suppose that it.was held by the Stoics: “Id actum est, mibi
2066crede ab illo, quisquis formator universi fuit, sive ille Deus est

2068l
2069given ;* though in the latter the doctrines appear
2070rather to refer to the Monad and Duad than to
2071the genuine trinity of the ancients.
2072So far from
2073any such doctrine being maintained by the Py-.
2074thagoreans or in the Academy, we find only
2075such vague allusions as might be expected among
2076philosophers, who reverenced an ancient tradition,
2077and were willing, after they had lost the substance,
2078to find something to which they might attach the
2079shadow.
2080The error which Dr. Morgan has refuted, took
2081.
2082its rise with the fathers of the Church in the se-
2083cond century.
2084They were led into the mistake
2085by the word Logos, used by Plato and St. John,
2086and made the Platonic Trinity to consist of God,
2087the Logos, and the Soul of the world, and this
2088in spite of all the professed followers of Plato,
2089who, however they might vary among them-
2090selves, uniformly insisted upon placing the Mo-
2091potens omnium, sive incorporalis ratio ingentium operum artifex,
2092sive divinus spiritus per omnia maxima minima, equali intentione
2093diffusus, sive fatum et immutabilis causarum imter se cohzeren-
2094tium series.”+
2095To the observations from Dr. Morgan’s work, I
2096may venture to add that the word Logos, as used by St. John
2097and Plato, has two very distinct significations.
2098By the latter,
2099Reason in general is implied, whereas St. John uses it as a trans-
2100lation of the Hebrew pzr, the Word signifying also a thing or
2101person revealed, and if at all in the sense of reason, which may
2102be implied from the commentaries of the fathers, not for reason
2103in general, but for the particular faculty so called,

2107mad and Duad, or at least
2108a Monad, above their
2109Triad.
2110In the first century of the Christian era, Philo,
2111an Alexandrian Jew, had attempted to expound
2112the Scripture on Platonic principles ; and after the
2113promulgation of the Gospel many of the fathers
2114warmly adopted the same mode of exposition.
2115The different sects of the Gnostics went far be-
2116yond the Grecian sage, and sought in the East
2117the doctrines, to which they looked upon the
2118writings of Plato merely as essays, introductory to
2119the sublimer flights of the Oriental mysticism :
2120and they treated his followers with that contempt,
2121against which the vanity of a philosopher is
2122- seldom proof; and as long as these schools exist-
2123ed, a bitter enmity prevailed between them. The
2124Gnostics gave at once a real existence to the Ideal
2125world, and continuing the chain of being from
2126the Supreme, through numerous orders of Eons,
2127personified abstract ideas, of which the second
2128and third persons of the Trinity were the first
2129and second Eons, and from thence to the lowest
2130material species,
2131founded
2132that
2133daring heresy
2134which so long disturbed the tranquillity of Chris-
2135tendom: and with this spurious Platonism of
2136the fathers the Arian*
2137heresy is likewise intimately
2138connected.
2139* It is curious to observe the Arian and Orthodox illustra-
2140tions of Eusebius and Epiphanius.
2141The former illustrates the
2142Trinity by the Heaven, the Sun, and the Spirit; or the Heaven, the

2144But the internal heresies of the Church were
2145not the only ill effects which the misguided zeal
2146of the fathers, in forcing upon Plato the doctrine
2147of the Trinity, brought about.
2148Though it is pos-
2149|
2150‘sible, that by pointing out some crude similarity
2151of doctrine, they might have obtained some con-
2152verts by rendering Christianity less unpalatable
2153to the philosophical world.
2154of that day, yet the
2155weapon was skilfully turned against them, and
2156with unerring effect, when the Pagans took upon
2157them to assert that nothing new had been revealed
2158in Christianity ; since, by the confessions of its
2159very advocates, the system was previously con-
2160tained in the writings of Plato.
2161In the third century, Ammonius Saccas, uni-
2162versally acknowledged to have been a man of
2163consummate ability, taught
2164that every
2165sect,
2166Christian, Heretic. or Pagan, had received the
2167truth, and retained it in their varied legends.
2168He
2169undertook, therefore, to unfold it from them all,
2170and to reconcile every creed.
2171And from his ex-
2172ertions sprung the celebrated Eclectic school of
2173the later Platonists.
2174Plotinus, Amelius, Olym-
2175pius, Porphyrius, Jamblichus,
2176Syrianus, and
2177Proclus, were among the celebrated professors
2178Sun, and the Moon, the two latter as the leaders of innumerable
2179host of spirits and stars, evidently derived from the prevailing
2180notions of the Fathers relative to the Platonic trinity ; whilst
2181Epiphanius declares, that this great mystery is properly under-
2182stood as Fire, Light, and Spirit or Air reveal it to us.

2184who succeeded Ammonius in the Platonic chair,
2185and revived and kept alive the spirit of Paganism,
2186with a bitter enmity to the Gospel, for near three
2187hundred years.
2188The Platonic schools were at
2189length closed by the edict of Justinian; and seven
2190wise men, the last lights of Platonism, Diogenes,
2191Hermias, Eulalius, Priscianus, Damascius, Isido-
2192rus and Simplicius retired indignantly from the
2193persecutions of Justinian, to realize the shadowy
2194dreams of the republic of Plato, under the Persian
2195despotism of Chosroes.*
2196|
2197From the writings of these philosgphers is
2198collected the bulk of the Oracles of Zoroaster.
2199A few of them were first published by Ludovicus
2200Tiletanus at Paris, with the commentaries of
2201Pletho, to which were subsequently added those
2202of Psellus.
2203Chief part of them, however, were
2204collected by Franciscus
2205Patricius,
2206and pub-
2207lished with the Hermetic books at the end of
2208his Nova Philosophia.

2211-
2212fifty more, and for the references to the works
2213from whence all were extracted. I have arranged

2227separate head the Magical and Philosophical
2228precepts and directions.
2229‘There can be no ques-
2230tion but that many of these Oracles are spurious ;
2231all those, for instance, which relate to the Intelli-
2232gible and Intellectual orders, which were con-
2233fessedly obtained in answers given by demons,
2234raised for that purpose by the Theurgists ;* who,
2235as well as all the later Platonists, made preten-
2236sions to magic, not only in its refinements, which
2237they were pleased to designate Theurgy, but also
2238in that debased form which we should call com-
2239mon
2240witchcraft.
2241Nevertheless, several
2242of the -
2243Oracles.
2244seem to be derived from
2245more
2246au-
2247thentic sources, and, like the spurious Hermetic
2248books which have come down to us, probably
2249contain much of the pure Sabiasm of Persia,
2250and the doctrines of the Oriental philosophy.
2251I have thus endeavoured to give I fear a very
2252imperfect outline of ancient history and theology.
2253But, as
2254it is intended rather to assist the reader
2255through such an heterogeneous heap of materials,
2256by bringing forward the most prominent parts
2257and connecting them with one another, I trust —
2258its errors will be excused, as they may be cor-

2265Chaldzus, the son, Theurgus.
2266They flourished in the reign of
2267Marcus Antoninus, and were the first who delivered the oracles
2268upon the Intelligible and Intellectual orders.

2270subject, I beg to offer my sincerest thanks to
2271-Tsaac Cullimore, Esq., to whose deep and exten-
2272sive chronological researches, [ am indebted for
2273references to several very important passages in
2274the following work, which had escaped my notice.
2275It is needless to take notice of the numerous
2276forgeries, which have been issued as the produc-
2277tions of the authors of these fragments.
2278There
2279is a complete set, which was composed in Latin
2280by Annius, a monk of Viterbo.
2281But it is a sin-
2282gular circumstance,
2283and one which might be
2284urged with great force against the genuineness of
2285almost the whole collection, that not only the
2286original works have perished, but those also,
2287through whose means
2288these relics have been
2289handed down.
2290With the exception of these frag-
2291ments, not only have Sanchoniatho, Berossus,
2292and the rest passed into oblivion; but the pre-
2293servers of their names have followed in the same
2294track, and to a more unusual fate.
2295The frag-
2296ments of Philo, Abydenus,
2297Polyhistor,
2298Dius,
2299and others, are generally not those of their own
2300' works, but extracts from their predecessors.
2301It is necessary also to advert to the nume-
2302rous errors which will be found in every sheet.
2303The fragments have been exposed to more than
2304the common risks and accidents, to which all
2305ancient writings have been subject.
2306They have
2307been either copied from the rude annals of anti-
p. 70
2308lyi
2309quity, or sketched from historical paintings or
2310hieroglyphic records, they have been sometimes
2311translated from the sacred into the common lan-
2312guage of the place; and again translated into.
2313Greek
2314; then, passed in citation from hand to
2315hand, and lie widely scattered over the works
2316principally of the fathers, and the writers of the
2317Lower empire.
2318It is matter of surprise then, not
2319that they abound in error and uncertainty, but
2320. that
2321so much of them has been preserved.
2322Several of these fragments are to be found in .
2323two or three different authors, each of whom
2324contains a different version of the same, differing,
2325not so much in the outline, and in the general
2326flow of words, as in those technicalities and va-
2327Yiations of termination, which were necessary to
2328adapt them to the author’s style; and it has been
2329a source of some little perplexity to determine
2330which.
2331of these: various readings to -prefer.
2332To Eusebius, Syncellus and Josephus, we
2333are largely indebted for these relics of antiquity.
2334For Josephus I have followed Hudson’s edition.
2335The Cologne edition
2336of the Preparatio Evange-'
2337lica of Eusebius is often considered the best: but
2338upon close inspection and comparison I have been
2339induced to prefer the text -of Stephanus.
2340With
2341the exception of a mutilated translation into
2342Latin by Hieronymus, Eusebius’ Chronicle was
2343lost..
2344‘Under that title, however, Scaliger .com-
2345e
2346oS
p. 71
2347lvii
2348piled a very portly folio, which, with some other
2349Chronicles, contains a collection of all the frag-
2350ments of the Greek text of Eusebius, that could
2351be found.
2352‘The recovery of the Armenian trans-
2353lation of this Chronicle is a great acquisition.
2354It
2355is regarded upon the Continent as perfectly au-
2356thentic; but I am not aware that it has been ex-
2357amined or reviewed in England. To compress as
2358muchas possible ali unnecessary observations upon
2359the subject of materials, editions and abbrevia-
2360tions, I have given at the end a list of the authors
2361-
2362cited, which will answer at once the several pur-
2363poses of an index to the abbreviations, and to the
2364editions I have used or referred to, as well as to
2365the manuscripts and other sources from which
2366some of those editions have been formed, or which
2367have been consulted in the compilation of the
2368work.
2369I have likewise given it the. form of a
2370Chronological index, by adding the times in
2371which the authors referred to flourished, that the
2372reader may judge what degree of credit may be
2373reposed in each.
2374The matter contained in these fragments is
2375the only merit to which they can pretend.
2376I have
2377chosen what appeared to me the most genuine
2378text, independent of all theory and system, and
2379have given all the various readings of any conse-
2380quence I have met with.
2381I have retained Mr.
2382Falconer’s translation of Hanno’s Periplus; and
2383with this exception, and some few of the most
2384:
2385i
p. 72
2386lviii
2387obscure of the oracles of Zoroaster, which are
2388due to Mr. Taylor, I must be answerable for the
2389rest.. For the many errors in which they must
2390abound, I beg leave to apologize and claim in-.
2391dulgence.
2392The broken and confused state of
2393many of the fragments, preclude the possibility of
2394giving any translation, except upon. conjecture.
2395Many, such as the Orphic fragment from Malala,*.
2396and that from Amelius,} have exercised the talent
2397and ingenuity of some of the ablest commentators,
2398none of whom perhaps will be found toagree.
2399In
2400such cases, I have patiently compared their opi-
2401nions, and endeavoured to investigate the circum-
2402stances under which the fragments were written
2403and have been preserved, and what connexion
2404they have with the passages among which they
2405are introduced, and to give, what to the best of
2406my judgment is, the truth.
2407|
2408At the conclusion of this work I have added a
2409disquisition, which was originally designed merely
2410to explain.and illustrate what I conceive to have
2411|
2412been the ancient Trinity of the Gentiles : but in
2413the progress of inquiry I found it impossible to
2414do justice to the opinion without speaking largely
2415upon ancient and modern science.
2416‘To compress
2417it, therefore, as much as_ possible, and to give it
2418something of a connected arrangement, 1 have
2419thrown it altogether into the form of an inquiry.

2423into the Method,
2424Objects and Result of an-
2425cient and modern Philosophy.
2426And, as in this
2427work I have endeavoured to bring forward several
2428historical and theological documents, which had,
2429in a manner, retired from public view, I trust
2430that such an inquiry will not be deemed alto-
2431gether misplaced, and that I shall be excused in
2432an attempt to draw from the same store-house of
2433antiquity some speculations, which have been too
2434generally slighted or overlooked by the Meta-
2435physician and the Philosopher, but which I be-
2436lieve may tend to the advancement of science,
2437even amid the brilliant discoveries
2438of modern
2439times.
2440With respect to the fragments themselves, the
2441classical reader will find, I fear, but poor amuse-
2442ment in perusing a half barbarous dialect, replete
2443with errors and inconsistencies: to the student of
2444divinity, however, they may not be altogether
2445unacceptable or devoid of interest: and to the
2446inquirer after ancient history and mythology, it
2447must be useful to have collected into one small
2448volume, the scattered relics for which he must
2449otherwise search so widely.

2489He supposes that the beginning of all
2490things was a dark and condensed windy
2491air, or a breeze of thick air and a Chaos
2492turbid and black as‘Erebus: and that
2493these were unbounded, and for a long
2494But
2495when this wind became enamoured of
2496series of ages destitute of form.
2497its own first principles (the Chaos),
2498and an intimate union took place, that
2499connexion was called Pothos :* and it
2500was the beginning of the creation of
2501all things. And it (the Chaos) + knew
2502not its own production; but from its
2503embrace with the wind was generated
2504Mét; which some call [lus (Mud), but
2505others the putrefaction of a watery
2506mixture.
2507And from this sprung all
2508the seed of the creation, and the gene-
2509ration of the universe.
2510* This union, among the Heathens, and particularly among the Pheenicians,
2511was symbolized by an Egg enfolded by a Serpent, which disjunctively represented
2512the Chaos and the Ether, but, when wnited, the hermaphroditic first principle of
2513the Universe Cupid or Pothos.

2617And there were
2618certain
2619animals
2620without sensation, from! which intelli-
2621gent animals were produced, and these
2622were called Zophasemin, that is, the
2623overseers of the heavens; and they
2624were formed in the shape of an egg:
2625and from M6ét shone forth the sun,
2626and the moon, the less.and the greater

2630- And when the air began to send
2631forth light, by its fiery influence on
2632the sea and earth, winds were pro--
2633duced, and clouds, and very great de-
2634fluxions and torrents of the heavenly
2635waters. And when they were thus sepa-
2636rated, and carried out of their proper
2637places by the heat of the sun, and all
2638met again in the air, and were dashed
2639against each other, thunder and light-
2640nings were the result: and at the
2641sound of the thunder,
2642the before-
2643mentioned
2644intelligent animals were
2645aroused, and startled by the noise,
2646and moved upon the earth and in the
2647sea, male and female.
2648(After this our
2649author proceeds to say:) These things
2650were found written in the Cosmogony
2651of T'aautus, and in his commentaries,
2652and were drawn from his observations

2794other, and taught men the use thereof.
2795These begat sons of vast bulk and
2796height, whose names were conferred
2797upon the mountains which they, occu-
2798pied: thus from them Cassius, and
2799Libanus, and Antilibanus, and Brathu
2800received their names.
2801Memrumus and Hypsuranius were
2802the issue of these men by connexion
2803with their mothers;
2804the women of
2805those times, without shame, having in-
2806tercourse with any men whom they
2807might chance to meet.
2808Hypsuranius
2809inhabited Tyre: and he invented huts
2810constructed of reeds and rushes, and
2811the papyrus..
2812And he fell into enmity
2813with his brother Usous, who was the
2814inventor of clothing for the body which
2815|
2816he made of the skins of the wild beasts
2817which he could catch.

2867there were violent storms of rain and
2868wind, the trees about ‘'yre being rub-
2869bed against each other, took fire, and
2870all the forest in the neighbourhood
2871was consumed.
2872And Usous having
2873taken a tree, and broken off its boughs,
2874was the first who dared to venture on
2875the sea.
2876And he consecrated two pil-
2877lars to Fire and Wind, and worship-
2878ped them, and poured out upon them
2879the blood of the wild beasts he took
2880in hunting: and when these men were
2881dead, those that remained consecrated
2882to them rods, and worshipped the pil-
2883lars, and held anniversary feasts in
2884honour of them.
2885And in times long subsequent to
2886these ; were born of the race of Hypsu-
2887ranius, Agreus and Halieus, the inven-
2888tors of the arts of hunting and fishing,
2889from whom huntsmen and fishermen
2890derive their names.
2891Of these were begotten two brothers
2892who discovered iron, and the forging
2893thereof. One of these called Chrysor,
2894who is the same with Hephestus,
2895exercised himself in words, and charms
2896and divinations; and he invented the
2897hook, and the bait, and the fishing-
2898line, and boats of a light construction ;
2899and he was
2900the first of all men that
2901sailed. Wherefore he was worshipped

2949after his death as a God, under the
2950name of Diamichius.
2951And it is said
2952that his brothers invented the art of
2953building walls with bricks.
2954Afterwards, of this race were born
2955two youths, one of whom was called
2956Technites, and the other was. called
2957Geinus Autochthon. . These discovered
2958the method of mingling. stubble with
2959the loam of bricks, and of baking them
2960in the sun; they were also the inven-
2961tors of tiling.
2962By these were begotten others, of
2963whom one was named Agrus, the other
2964Agrouerus or Agrotes, of whom in
2965Phoenicia there was a statue held in
2966the highest veneration, and a temple
2967drawn by yokes. of oxen: and at By-
2968blus he is called, by way of eminence,
2969the greatest of the Gods.
2970These ad-
2971ded to the houses, courts and porticos
2972and crypts: husbandmen, and such
2973as hunt with dogs, derive their origin
2974_ from these: they are called also Aletz,
2975_ and Titans.
2976From these were descended Amy-
2977nus and Magus, who taught men to
2978construct villages and tend flocks.
2979By these men were begotten Misor
2980and Sydyc, that is, Well-freed and

3029salt.
3030From Misor descended Taautus, who
3031invented the writing of the first let-
3032ters: him the Egyptians called Thoor,
3033the Alexandrians Thoyth,
3034and the
3035Greeks Hermes.
3036But from Sydyc
3037descended the Dioscuri, or Cabiri, or
3038Corybantes, -or Samothraces:
3039these
3040(he says) first built a ship complete.
3041From these descended others, who
3042were
3043the discoverers
3044of medicinal
3045herbs, and of the cure of poisons and
3046of charms.
3047Contemporary with these was one
3048Elioun, called Hypsistus, (the most
3049high); and his wife named Beruth,
3050and they dwelt about Byblus.
3051By these was begotten Epigeus or
3052Autochthon, whom they afterwards
3053called Ouranus (Heaven); so
3054that
3055‘from him that element, which is over
3056us, by reason of its excellent beauty
3057is named heaven: and he had a sister
3058of the same parents, and she was
3059called Ge (Earth), and by reason of
3060|
3061her beauty the earth was called by the
3062same name.
3063Hypsistus,
3064the
3065father of these,
3066having been killed in a conflict with
3067wild beasts, was consecrated, and his
3068children offered libations and sacri-
3069fices unto him.

3136But Ouranus,: succeeding
3137to the
3138kingdom of his father, contracted a
3139marriage with his sister Ge, and had
3140by her four sons, [lus who is called
3141Cronus, and Betylus, and Dagon, which
3142signifies
3143(Bread-corn,)
3144and
3145Atlas. -
3146But by other wives Ouranus had
3147much issue ; at which Ge, being vexed
3148and jealous of Ouranus, reproached
3149him so that they parted from each
3150other: nevertheless Ouranus returned
3151to her, again by force whenever he
3152Siton
3153thought proper, and having laid with
3154her, again departed:
3155he attempted
3156also to kill the children whom he had
3157by her; but Ge often defended her-
3158self with the assistance of auxiliary
3159powers.
3160But when Cronus arrived at man’s
3161estate, acting by the advice and with
3162_the assistance of Hermes Trismegis-
3163tus, who was his secretary, he opposed
3164himself to his father Ouranus, that he
3165might avenge the indignities which
3166had been offered to his mother.
3167And to Cronus were born children,
3168Persephone and Athena; the former
3169of whom died a virgin; but, by the
3170advice of Athena and Hermes, Cronus
3171made a scimitar and a spear of iron.
3172Then Hermes addressed the allies of
3173Cronus with magic words, and wrought

3231in them a keen desire to make war
3232against Ouranus in behalf of Ge. And
3233Cronus having thus overcome Ouranus
3234in battle, drove him from his kingdom,
3235and succeeded him in the imperial
3236power. In the battle was taken a well-
3237beloved concubine of Ouranus who was
3238pregnant; and Cronus bestowed her
3239in marriage upon Dagon, and, whilst
3240she was with him, she was delivered
3241of the child which she had conceived
3242by Ouranus, and called his name De-
3243marous.
3244After
3245these
3246events Cronus
3247sur-
3248rounded his habitation with a wall,
3249and founded Byblus, the first city of
3250Phoenicia. Afterwards Cronus having
3251conceived a suspicion of his own bro-
3252ther Atlas, by the advice of Hermes,
3253threw him into a deep cavern in the
3254earth, and buried him.
3255At this time the descendants of the
3256Dioscuri, having built some light and
3257other more complete ships, put to sea;
3258and being cast away over
3259against
3260Mount Cassius, there consecrated a
3261temple.
3262But the auxiliaries of Ilus, who is
3263Cronus, were called Eloeim, as it were,
3264the allies of Cronus; being so called
3265after Cronus.

3324SANCHONIATHO,
3325son called Sadidus, dispatched him
3326with his own sword, because he held
3327him in suspicion, and with his own
3328hand deprived his child of life. And
3329in like manner he cut off the head of
3330his own daughter, so that all the gods
3331were astonished at the disposition of
3332Cronus.
3333But in process
3334of time, whilst
3335Ouranus was still in banishment, he
3336sent his daughter Astarte, being a
3337|
3338virgin, with two other of her sisters,
3339Rhea and Dione, to cut off Cronus by
3340treachery ; but Cronus took the dam-
3341sels, and married them notwithstand-
3342ing they were his own sisters.
3343When
3344Ouranus understood
3345this, he sent
3346Eimarmene
3347and
3348Hora.
3349with
3350other
3351auxiliaries to make war against Cro-
3352nus : but Cronus gained the affections
3353of these also, and detained them with
3354himself.
3355Moreover, the god Ouranus
3356devised Beetulia, contriving stones that
3357moved as having life.
3358And by Astarte Cronus had seven
3359daughters called Titanides, or Arte-
3360mides; by Rhea also he had seven

3424And Dagon, after he had found out
3425bread-corn, and the plough, was called ~
3426Zeus Arotrius.
3427To Sydyc, who was called the just,
3428one of the Titanides bare Asclepius :
3429and to Cronus there were born also in
3430Perza three sons, Cronus bearing the
3431same name with his father, and Zeus
3432Belus, and Apollo.
3433Contemporary with these were Pon-
3434tus, and Typhon, and Nereus
3435the
3436father of Pontus: from Pontus de-
3437scended Sidon, who by the excellence
3438of her singing first invented the hymns
3439of odes or praises: and Poseidon.
3440But to Demarous was born Meli-
3441carthus, who is also called Heracles.
3442Ouranus then made war
3443against
3444Pontus, but afterwards relinquishing
3445the attack he attached himself to De-
3446marous,
3447when.
3448Demarous
3449invaded
3450Pontus : but Pontus put him to flight,
3451and Demarous vowed a sacrifice for
3452his escape.
3453In the thirty-second year of his
3454power and reign, Ilus, who is Cronus,
3455having laid an ambuscade for his
3456father Ouranus in a certain place si-
3457tuated in the middle of the earth, when
3458he had got him into his hands dis-
3459- membered him over against the foun-
3460Col.

3507There Ouranus was
3508consecrated, and his spirit was sepa-
3509rated, and the blood of his parts
3510flowed into

3512waters of the rivers; and the place,

3516(Then our
3517historian, after some
3518other things, goes on
3519thus:)
3520But
3521_
3522Astarte called the greatest, and De-
3523‘marous named Zeus, and Adodus who
3524is entitled the king of gods, reigned
3525over the country by the consent of
3526Cronus: and Astarte put upon her
3527head, as the mark of her sovereignty,
3528a bull's head : and travelling about the
3529habitable world, she found a star fall-
3530ing through the air, which she took
3531up, and consecrated in the holy island
3532of Tyre: and the Phoenicians say that
3533Astarte is the same as Aphrodite.
3534Moreover, Cronus visiting the dif-
3535ferent regions of habitable world, gave
3536to his daughter Athena the kingdom
3537of Attica: and when there happened
3538a plague with a great mortality, Cro-
3539nus offered up his only begotten son
3540as a sacrifice to his father Ouranus,
3541and circumcised himself, and compel-
3542led his allies to do the same: and not
3543long afterwards he consecrated after
3544his death another of his sons, called

3599Muth, whom he had by Rhea; this
3600(Muth) the Phoenicians esteem the
3601same as Death and Pluto.
3602After these things, Cronus gave the
3603city of Byblus to the goddess Baaltis,
3604which
3605is Dione, and Berytus to Posei-
3606bandmen and fishermen: and they
3607consecrated the remains of Pontus at
3608Berytus.
3609But before these things the god
3610Taautus, having pourtrayed Ouranus,
3611represented also the countenances of
3612the gods Cronus, and Dagon, and the
3613sacred characters of the elements. He
3614contrived also for Cronus the ensign
3615of his royal power, having four eyes
3616in the parts before and in the parts
3617behind, two of them closing as in
3618sleep; and upon the shoulders four
3619wings, two in the act of flying, and
3620two reposing as at rest.
3621And the
3622symbol was, that Cronus whilst he slept
3623was watching, and reposed whilst he
3624was awake.
3625And in like manner with
3626respect to the wings, that he was fly-
3627ing whilst he rested, yet rested whilst
3628he flew. But for the other gods there
3629were two wings only to each upon his
3630shoulders, to intimate that they flew
3631under the controul of Cronus; and
3632Or.

3752there were also two wings upon the
3753head, the one as a symbol of the
3754intellectual part, the mind, and the
3755other for the senses.
3756And Cronus visiting the country of
3757the south, gave all Egypt to the god
3758Taautus, that it might /be his king-
3759dom.
3760These things, says he, the Caberi,
3761the seven sons of Sydyc, and their
3762eighth brother Asclepius, first of all
3763set down in the records in obedience
3764to the commands of the god Taautus.
3765All these things the son of Thabion,
3766the first Hierophant of all among the
3767Phoenicians, allegorized and mixed up
3768with the occurrences and accidents of

3888celerity, moving by its spirit without
3889either hands, or feet, or any of those
3890external members, by which other
3891animals effect their motion.
3892And in
3893its progress it assumes a variety of
3894forms, moving in a spiral course, and
3895darting forward with whatever degree
3896of swiftness it pleases. It is moreover
3897long-lived, and has the quality not
3898only of putting off its old age, and as-
3899suming a second youth, but of receiv-
3900ing at the same time an augmentation
3901of its size and strength. And when it
3902has fulfilled the appointed measure of
3903its existence, it consumes itself; as
3904Taautus has laid down in the sacred

3971Brrossus, in the first book of his
3972history of Babylonia, informs us that
3973he lived in the age of Alexander the
3974son of Philip.
3975And he mentions that
3976there were written accounts, preserved
3977at Babylon with the greatest care,
3978comprehending a period of above fif-
3979teen myriads of years : and. that these
3980writings contained
3981histories
3982of the
3983heaven and of the sea; of the birth
3984of mankind; and
3985of the kings, and of
3986the memorable actions which they had
3987achieved.
3988-And in the first place he describes
3989Babylonia as a country situated be-
3990tween the Tigris and the Euphrates :
3991that it abounded with wheat, and bar-
3992ley, and ocrus, and sesame ; and that
3993in the lakes were produced the roots
3994called gonge, which are fit for food,

4054That there were also palm
4055trees and apples, and
4056a_ variety of
4057fruits ; fish also and birds, both those
4058which are merely of flight, and those
4059which frequent the lakes.
4060He adds,
4061that those parts of the country which
4062bordered upon Arabia, were without
4063water, and barren; but that the parts
4064which lay on the other side were both
4065hilly and fertile.|
4066At Babylon there was (in these
4067times) a great resort of people of
4068various nations, who inhabited Chal-
4069dzea, and lived in a lawless manner
4070like the beasts of the field.
4071In the first year there appeared,
4072from that part of the Erythrean sea
4073which borders upon Babylonia, an
4074animal destitute§ of reason, by name
4075Oannes, whose whole bedy (according
4076to the account of Apollodorus) was
4077that of a fish; that under the fish’s
4078head he had another head, with feet
4079also below, similar to those of a man,
4080subjoined to the fish’s tail. His voice
4081too, and language, was articulate and
4082human; and a representation of him
4083is preserved even to this day.

4137This Being was accustomed to pass
4138the day among men; but took no food
4139at that season; and he gave them an
4140insight into letters and sciences, and
4141arts of every kind.
4142He taught them
4143to construct cities, to found temples,
4144to compile laws, and explained to them
4145the principles of geometrical know~
4146ledge. He made them distinguish the
4147seeds of the earth, and shewed them
4148how to collect the fruits; in short, he
4149instructed them in every thing which
4150could tend to soften manners and
4151humanize their lives. From that time,
4152nothing material has been added by
4153way of improvement to his instruc-
4154tions. And when the sun had set, this
4155Being Oannes, retired again into the
4156sea, and passed the night in the deep;
4157for he was amphibious.
4158After this
4159there appeared other animals like
4160Oannes, of which Berossus proposes
4161to give an account when he comes to
4162the history of the kings.
4163Moreover
4164Oannes wrote concerning the genera-
4165tion of mankind; and of their civil
4166polity ; and the following is the pur-
4167port of what he said :

4243hideous beings, which were produced
4244of a two-fold principle.
4245There ap-
4246peared men, some of whom were fur-
4247nished with two wings, others with
4248four, and with two faces.
4249They had
4250one body but two heads: the one that
4251of a man, the other of a woman: and
4252likewise in their several organs both
4253male and female. Other human figures
4254were to be seen with the legs and
4255horns of goats: some had horses’ feet:
4256while others united the hind quarters
4257of a horse with the body of a man,
4258resembling in shape the hippocen-
4259taurs. Bulls likewise were bred there
4260with the heads of men; and dogs with
4261fourfold bodies, terminated in’ their
4262extremities with the tails of fishes:
4263horses also with the heads of dogs:
4264men too and other animals, with the
4265heads and bodies of horses and the
4266tails of fishes.
4267In short, there were
4268creatures in which were combined the
4269limbs of every species of animals.
4270In
4271addition to these, fishes, reptiles, ser-
4272pents, with other monstrous animals,

4347The person, who presided over
4348them, was a woman named Omoroca;
4349which in the Chaldzan language is
4350Thalatth;§ in Greek Thalassa,
4351the
4352sea; but which might equally be in-
4353terpreted the Moon. All things being
4354in this situation, Belus came, and cut
4355the woman asunder: and of one half
4356of her he formed the earth, and of the
4357other half the heavens; and at the
4358same
4359time destroyed
4360the animals
4361within her.**
4362All this (he says) was
4363an allegorical description of nature.
4364For, the whole universe consisting of
4365moisture, and animals being conti-
4366nually generated therein, the deity
4367above-mentioned
4368took off his own
4369head: upon which the other gods
4370mixed the blood, as it gushed out,
4371with the earth ; and from thence were
4372formed men.
4373On this account it is
4374that they are rational, and partake of
4375divine knowledge.
4376This Belus, by
4377whom they signify Jupiter,*** divided
4378the darkness,
4379separated
4380the
4381Heavens from the Earth, and reduced
4382the universe to order.
4383But the ani-
4384mals, not being able to bear the pre-
4385valence of light, died.

4457this, seeing a vast space unoccupied,
4458though by nature fruitful, commanded
4459one of the gods to take off his head,
4460and to mix the blood with the earth ;
4461and from thence to form other men
4462and animals, which should be capable
4463of bearing the air.*
4464Belus formed
4465also the stars, and the sun, and the
4466moon, and the five planets.
4467(Such,
4468according to Polyhistor Alexander, is
4469the account which Berossus gives in
4470his first book.)
4471(In the second book was contained
4472the history of the ten kings of the
4473Chaldzans, and the periods of the
4474continuance of each reign, which con-
4475sisted collectively of an hundred and
4476twenty sari, or four hundred and
4477thirty-two thousand years; reaching
4478to the time of the Deluge. For, Alex-
4479ander, enumerating the kings from
4480the writings of the Chaldzeans, after
4481the ninth Ardates, proceeds to the
4482tenth, whois called by them Xisuthrus,
4483in this manner :)
4484|
4485After the death of Ardates, his son
4486Xisuthrus reigned eighteen sari.
4487» In
4488his time happened a great Deluge ;
4489the history of which is thus described.

4542The Deity, Cronus, appeared to him
4543in a vision, and warned him that upon
4544the fifteenth day of the month Desius
4545there would be a flood, by which man-
4546kind would be destroyed.
4547He there-
4548fore enjoined him to write a history
4549of the beginning, procedure, and con-
4550clusion of all things; and to bury it
4551in the city of the Sun at Sippara; and
4552to build a vessel, and take with him
4553into it his friends and relations; and
4554to convey on board every thing neces-
4555sary to sustain life, together with all
4556the different animals, both birds and
4557quadrupeds, and trust himself fear-
4558lessly to the deep. © Having asked
4559the Deity, whither he was.to sail?» he
4560was answered,f
4561‘“ To the Gods :”
4562upon which he offered up a prayer
4563for the good of mankind.
4564He then
4565obeyed the divine admonition:
4566. and
4567built a vessel five stadia in length, and
4568two in breadth.
4569Into this he put
4570every thing which he had prepared ;
4571and last of all conveyed into it his
4572wife, his children, and his friends.

4660earth, and was in time abated, Xisu-
4661thrus sent out birds from the ves-
4662sel; which, not finding any food, nor
4663any place whereupon they might rest
4664their feet, returned to him again.
4665After an interval of some days, he
4666sent them forth a second time; and
4667they now returned
4668with their feet
4669tinged with mud.
4670He made a trial a
4671third time with these birds; but they
4672returned to himno more: from whence
4673he judged that the surface of the
4674earth had appeared above the waters.
4675He therefore made an opening in the
4676vessel, and upon looking out found
4677that it was stranded upon the side of
4678some mountain; upon which he im-
4679mediately quitted it with his wife, his
4680daughter, and the pilot.
4681Xisuthrus
4682then paid his adoration to the earth :
4683and having constructed. an altar, of-
4684fered sacrifices to the gods, and, with
4685those who had come out of the vessel
4686with him, disappeared.
4687They, who remained within, find-
4688ing that their companions did not re-
4689turn, quitted the vessel with many
4690lamentations, and called continually
4691on the name of Xisuthrus.
4692Him they
4693saw no more; but they could distin-
4694guish his voice in the air, and could
4695hear him admonish them to pay due
4696regard to religion; and likewise in-

4751were, was the land of Armenia.

4755a circuit, journeyed towards Baby-

4758Armenia, some part of it yet remains
4759in the Corcyrzean {| mountains of Ar-
4760menia; and the people scrape off the
4761bitumen, with which it had been out-

4763way of an alexipharmic and amulet.
4764And when they returned to Babylon,
4765and had found the writings at Sippara,
4766they built cities, and erected temples:
4767and Babylon was thus inhabited again.

4819Tus is the history which Berossus
4820has transmitted to us.
4821He tells us
4822that the first king was Alorus of Ba-
4823bylon, a Chaldean: he reigned ten
4824sari: and afterwards. Alaparus, and
4825Amelon who came from Pantibiblon :
4826then
4827Ammenon
4828the Chaldean,
4829in
4830whose time appeared the Musarus
4831Oannes the Annedotus from the Ery-
4832(But Alexander Poly-
4833histor anticipating the event, has said
4834thrzean sea.
4835that he appeared in the first year ;
4836but Apollodorus
4837says
4838that it was
4839after forty sari; Abydenus, however,
4840makes the second Annedotus appear
4841after twenty-six
4842sari.)
4843Then suc-
4844ceeded _Megalarus from the city of
4845Pantibiblon; and he reigned eighteen
4846sari: and after him Daonus the shep-
4847herd from Pantibiblon reigned ten

4905again from the Erythrean sea a fourth
4906Annedotus, having the
4907same form
4908with those above, the shape of a fish
4909blended with that of a man.
4910Then
4911reigned Euedorachus from Pantibi-
4912blon, for the term of eighteen sari ;
4913in his days there appeared another
4914personage from the Erythreean sea
4915like the former, having the same com-
4916plicated form between a fish and a

4918these, says Apollodorus, related par-
4919ticularly and circumstantially _what-
4920ever Oannes had informed them of:
4921concerning these Abydenus has made
4922no mention.) Then reigned Amemp-

4929Then reigned
4930Otiartes, a Chaldzean, from Laranche ;
4931and he reigned eight sari. And upen
4932the death of Otiartes, his son Xisu-
4933thrus reigned eighteen sari:

4974So much concerning the wisdom of
4975the Chaldeans.
4976It is said that the first king of the
4977country was Alorus, and that he gave
4978out a report that God had appointed
4979him to be the Shepherd of the people:
4980he reigned ten sari: now a sarus is
4981esteemed to be three thousand
4982six
4983hundred years ; a neros six hundred;
4984and a sossus sixty.
4985After him Alaparus reigned three
4986sari:
4987to him succeeded
4988Amillarus
4989from the city of Pantibiblon, who
4990reigned thirteen sari;
4991in his time
4992came up from the sea a second An-
4993nedotus, a semi-deemon very similar
4994in his form to Oannes: after Amilla-
4995rus reigned Ammenon twelve sari,

5051who was of the city of Pantibiblon :
5052then Megalarus of the same place
5053reigned eighteen sari: then Daos, the
5054shepherd, governed for the space of
5055ten sari; he was of Pantibiblon; in
5056his time four double-shaped person-
5057ages came up out of the sea to land,
5058whose names were Euedocus, Eneu-
5059gamus, Eneuboulus, and Anementus :
5060afterwards in the time of Euedores-
5061chus appeared another Anodaphus.
5062After these reigned other kings, and
5063last of all Sisithrus: so that in the
5064whole, the number amounted to ten
5065kings, and the term of their reigns to
5066an hundred and twenty sari,
5067(And
5068among other things not irrelative to
5069the subject, he continues thus con-
5070cerning the deluge :) After Euedores-
5071chus some others reigned, and then
5072Sisithrus.
5073To him the deity Cronus
5074foretold that on the fifteenth day of
5075the month Desius’ there would be a
5076deluge of rain: and he commanded
5077him to deposit all the writings what-
5078ever which were in his possession, in
5079the city of the Sun in Sippara.
5080Sisi-

5236and its ruins are said to be still at
5237Babylon: and the gods introduced a
5238diversity of tongues among men, who

5242The place in

5529rest of his baggage, to Babylonia: in
5530the mean time with a few attendants
5531he hastily crossed the desert to Baby-
5532lon. When he arrived there he found
5533that his affairs had been faithfully
5534conducted by the Chaldeans, and that
5535the principal person among them had.
5536preserved the kingdom for him: and
5537he accordingly obtained possession of
5538all his father’s dominions.
5539And he
5540distributed the captives in colonies in
5541the most proper places of Babylonia:
5542and adorned the temple of Belus,
5543and the other temples, in a sumptuous
5544and pious manner, out of the spoils
5545which he had taken in this war.
5546He
5547also rebuilt the old city, and added
5548another to it on the outside, and so
5549far completed Babylon, that none, who
5550might besiege it afterwards, should
5551have it in their power to divert the
5552river, so as to facilitate an entrance
5553into it: and he effected this by build-
5554ing three walls about the inner city,
5555and three about the outer.
5556Some of
5557these walls he built of burnt brick
5558and bitumen, and some of brick only.
5559When he had thus admirably fortified
5560the city, and had magnificently adorn-
5561ed the gates, he added also a new
5562palace to those in which his forefathers
5563had dwelt, adjoining them, but ex-
5564ceeding them in height and splendor.

5889says: That Nabucodrosorus, having

5893extended his conquests over the in-

5895of the sea.
5896It is moreover related
5897by the Chaldeans, that as he went up
5898into his palace he was possessed by
5899some god ; and he cried out and said:
5900‘Oh! Babylonians, I, Nabucodroso-
5901rus, foretel unto you a calamity which
5902must shortly come

6268of the Sibylline verses in the following page.
6269Josephus and Eusebius have
6270the plural 3eo), Gods.
6271+ The last paragraph is not in the Greek copies, but the Armenian is as
6272follows :—* Post diluvium autem Titan et Prometheus exstiterunt ; ubi quidem
6273Titan adversus Crontm (scil. Saturnum) bellum movebat.”
6274{ The translation is from the fourth volume of Bryant’s Mythology, who has
6275the following remarks upon the fragment.—* It has been borrowed by some Hel-
6276lenistie Jew, or Gnostic, and inserted amid a deal of trash of his own composing.
6277The superior antiquity of that part which I have laid before the reader, is plain
6278from its being mentioned by Josephus.
6279Some lines are likewise quoted by
6280Athenagoras, and Theophilus Antiochenus.
6281But there are passages afterwards
6282which relate to circumstances of late date ; such as were in time much inferior to
6283the age of Athenagoras;
6284and still farther removed from the era of Josephus.”

6297A dread commission from on high was given
6298To the fell whirlwinds, which with dire alarms
6299Beat on the Tower, and to its lowest base
6300Shook it convulsed.
6301And now all intercourse,
6302By some occult and overruling power,
6303Ceased among men: by utterance they strove
6304Perplexed and anxious to disclose their mind ;
6305But their lip failed them; and in lieu of words
6306Produced a painful babbling sound: the place
6307Was thence called Babel; by th’ apostate crew
6308Named from the event.
6309Then severed far away
6310They sped uncertain into realms unknown :
6311Thus kingdoms rose; and the glad world was filled.

6363Tue parents of all the heresies, and
6364the prototypes from which they de-
6365rive their names, and from which all
6366other heresies
6367originate, are these
6368four primary ones.
6369The first is Barbarism,} which pre-
6370vailed without a rival from the days of
6371Adam through ten generations to the
6372time of Noah. It is called Barbarism,
6373because men had no rulers, nor sub-
6374mitted to any particular discipline
6375-
6376of life; but as each thought proper
6377to prescribe to himself, so he was
6378at liberty to follow the dictates of
6379his own inclination.
6380* The following extract from Epiphanius is given also in the Paschal
6381Chronicle in disjointed fragments.
6382I have endeavoured to give the spirit of it
6383as it may be gathered from a comparison of Epiphanius, Cedrenus and the Paschal
6384Chronicle.

6429The
6430second
6431is Scythism which
6432prevailed from the days of Noah and
6433thence downwards to the building of
6434the tower and Babylon, and for a few
6435years subsequently to that time, that
6436is to the days of Phalec and Ragau.
6437But the nations which incline upon the
6438borders of Europe continued addicted
6439to the Scythic heresy, and the cus-
6440toms of the Scythians to the age of
6441Thera, and afterwards; of this sect
6442also were the Thracians.
6443The third
6444is Hellenism,
6445which
6446originated in the days of Seruch
6447with the introduction of idolatry: and
6448as men had hitherto followed each
6449some demonolatrous superstition of
6450_ his own,
6451they were now
6452reduced
6453to a more established form of polity,
6454and to the rites and ceremonies of
6455idols.
6456And the followers of this be-
6457gan with the use of painting, making
6458likenesses of those whom they had
6459formerly honoured, either kings or
6460chiefs, or men who in their lives had
6461performed actions which they deemed
6462worthy of record, by strength or ex~
6463cellence of body.
6464* Epiphanius divides the word thus, écroryody 73, and in the following
6465passage places the full stop after Secuods, and a comma after yévy, introducing
6466after sidéAwy the words pty rof ye tvap&dmeva,
6467I have in the whole passage
6468followed the Paschal Chronicle.

6515The Egyptians, and Babylonians,
6516and Phrygians, and Phoenicians were
6517the first propagators of this supersti-
6518tion of making images, and of the
6519mysteries : from whom it was trans-
6520ferred to the Greeks from the time
6521of Cecrops downwards.
6522But it was
6523not till afterwards and at a consi-
6524derable interval that Cronus
6525and
6526Rhea, Zeus and Apollo, and the rest
6527were
6528esteemed
6529and honoured
6530as
6531gods.
6532is given in Epiphanius preceding the
6533Awnp from the times of Tharra the
6534father of Abraham, they introduced
6535images and all the errors of idola-
6536try; honouring their forefathers, and
6537their departed
6538predecessors
6539with
6540effigies which they fashioned after
6541their
6542likeness.
6543They first made
6544these effigies of earthern ware, but
6545afterwards according to their dif-
6546ferent arts they sculptured them in
6547stone, and cast them in silver and
6548gold, and wrought them in wood,
6549and all kinds of different materials.

6623Or the tribe of Japhet was born
6624Seruch, who first introduced Hel-
6625lenism and the worship of idols. For
6626he and those who concurred: with
6627him in opinion honoured their pre-
6628decessors whether warriors or leaders,
6629or characters renowned during their
6630lives for valour or virtue with co-
6631lumnar statues, as if they had been
6632their progenitors, and tendered to
6633them a species of religious veneration
6634as a kind of gods and sacrificed. But
6635after this their successors, overstep-
6636ping the intention of their ancestors
6637that they should honour them as their
6638progenitors
6639and
6640the inventors
6641of
6642good things with monuments alone,
6643honoured
6644them as
6645heavenly gods
6646and sacrificed to them as such. And
6647the following was the form of their
6648canonization:
6649they inscribed
6650their
6651names after their decease in their
6652sacred books and established a festi-
6653val to each at certain seasons, saying
6654that their souls had departed to the
6655islands of the blessed and were never
6656condemned or burnt with fire.

6702Tue city of Babylon owes its founda-
6703tion to those who were saved from
6704the catastrophe of the deluge: they
6705were the Giants, and they built the
6706tower which is noticed in history.
6707But the tower being overthrown by
6708the interposition of God, the Giants
6709were scattered over all the earth.
6710He says moreover that in the tenth
6711generation in the city Camarina of
6712Babylonia, which some call the city
6713Urie, and which signifies a city of the
6714Chaldzeans, the thirteenth in descent
6715lived Abraham, of a noble race, and
6716superior to all others in wisdom; of
6717whom they relate that he was the in-
6718ventor of astrology and the Chaldzean
6719magic, and that on account of his
6720eminent piety he was esteemed by
6721God.
6722It is further said, that under
6723the directions of God he removed and
6724lived in Phoenicia, and there taught
6725the Phcenicians the motions of the
6726sun and moon and all other things ;
6727for which reason he was held in great

6776army from that part of the country
6777which is situated above Babylon of
6778the Chaldzans : but after a short time

7215When he received a report

7219marched against them and fought
7220with them a pitched battle, in
7221which, though he suffered great
7222loss in his own army, he over-
7223threw them, and upon the spot
7224he erected the statue of himself
7225as a monument of his victory ;
7226and ordered his prowess to be
7227inscribed upon it in the Chaldeean
7228characters, to hand down the re-
7229membrance of it to posterity. He
7230built also the city of Tarsus after

7520After him
7521Saracus
7522reigned
7523over the Assyrians, and when he
7524was informed that a very great
7525of barbarians had
7526come up from the sea to attack
7527him, he sent Busalosserus as his
7528general
7529in haste
7530to Babylon.
7531But he, having with a treason-
7532able design obtained Amuhean,

7541is Nineveh.
7542But when
7543Saracus the king was apprized
7544of all these proceedings he burnt
7545the royal palace. And Nabucho-
7546drossorus succeeded to the em-
7547pire and surrounded
7548Babylon
7549with a strong wall.—Hu, Ar.
7550Chron. 53.
7551* The name Sardanapallus is indiscriminately applied to various persona,
7552Here perhaps Saracus may be intended; but from the fragment p. 59, most
7553probably Busalossorus, i.e. Nabopolassar.
7554The passage then in the text may
7555refer to the dominion (potestatem) of Axerdis, “ from which Sardanapallus
7556revolted.”
7557¢ The Armenian Editor in a note complains of the obscurity of this passage
7558in the original, and thinks it may be translated “ Condonavit regiam aulam
7559Evoriti,” entrusted the palace to some officer named Evorites.
7560In some authors
7561the daughter of Astyages is named Aroites: and it might possibly refer to hers
7562if the word were read in conjunction with the subsequent sentence.

7606the Cyclops assisted Jupiter with

7608his contest with the Titans.
7609At
7610that time there were kings of the
7611Titans, one of whom was Ogygus.
7612(After a short digression he pro-
7613ceeds to say, that) the Giants, in
7614their attempted inroad upon the
7615Gods, were slain by the assistance
7616of Hercules and Dionysus, who
7617were themselves of the Titan
7618race.
7619Belus, whom we have men-
7620tioned above, after his death was
7621esteemed a God,
7622After him, Ni-

7624fifty-two years.
7625He married Se-

7667We have first digested into a
7668canon the kings of the Assyrians,
7669commencing with Belus:
7670but
7671since we have no
7672certain tra-
7673dition respecting the: length of
7674his reign, we have merely set
7675down his name, and commenced
7676the chronological series from Ni-
7677nus; and have concluded it with
7678another Ninus, who obtained the
7679empire after Sardanapallus; that
7680in this manner the whole length of
7681the time, as well as of the reigns
7682of each king, might be plainly set
7683forth.

7740Tue Asiatic empire was subse-
7741quently transferred from the As-
7742syrians, who had held it 1070
7743years, to the Medes, from this
7744time, for a period of 870 years.
7745For Sardanapalus, the king of
7746the Assyrians, a man wallowing
7747in luxury, being the thirty-third
7748from Ninus and Semiramis, the
7749founders of Babylon, from whom
7750the kingdom had © passed in a
7751regular descent from father to
7752son, was deprived of his empire,
7753and put to death by Arbaces the
7754Mede.....Aimilius Sura also, in
7755his annals of the Roman people,
7756says, “ That the Assyrian princes
7757extended their empire over all
7758nations.
7759They were succeeded
7760by the Medes, then by the Per-
7761sians, then by the Macedonians
7762and shortly afterwards by two
7763kings Philip and ‘Antiochus, of
7764Macedonian origin, who, not long
7765after the destruction of Carthage,
7766were conquered by the Romans,
7767who then obtained the empire of
7768the world. To this'time, from the
7769beginning of the reign of Ninus,
7770king of the Assyrians, who first
7771obtained the empire, there has
7772elapsed a period of 1995 years.”

7824served observations of the stars,
7825inscribed upon baked tiles, ex-

7993the same names in an inverted order, that occur in the following Assyrian

10156contaming thirty dynasties in 113
10157descents, during the long period of
1015886525} years.
10159The first series’ of
10160princes was that of the Aurite; the
10161second was that of the Mestreans ;
10162the third of Egyptians.

10164THE REIGN OF THE GODS
10165According to the Old Chronicle.
10166To Hephestus is assigned no time
10167It runs as
10168as he is apparent both by night and
10169day.
10170Helius

10172son
10173of Hepheestus
10174reigned three myriads of years.
10175Then’ Cronus and the other twelve
10176divinities reigned 3984.
10177+ This number is also mentioned by Jamblichus, in connexion with Egyptian
10178history, as the number of the Hermaic books, perhaps allowing a book to each year.

10633Tue first man according to the

10644son of Osiris and Isis.
10645These were the first Egyp-
10646tian kings.
10647After them the empire de-
10648scended by a long succession
10649to Bites, through a lapse of
1065013,900 years, reckoned, I say,
10651in lunar years of thirty days
10652to each: for even now they call
10653the month a year.

13784{ In the Armenian Canon of Eusebius, a Theban dynasty, which he calls
13785the 16th, is placed as the first, to which is assigned a period of 190 years.
13786This
13787is followed by the 17th dynasty of the Shepherds which lasts 103 years.
13788No
13789names are given in either.
13790The first part of Hieronymus’ old Latin version of
13791Eusebius is lost.
13792The lists therefore both of the Armenian Canon and of Hiero-
13793nymus’ version commence with this the 18th dynasty of Diospolites.
13794The names
13795of the 32 kings given above, are merely those of Syncellus in the Greek

14916OF THE KINGS OF EGYPT,
14917call the pyramids the work of the
14918shepherd
14919Philitis, who
14920grazed his
14921flocks, at this time, in that coun-
14922try.
14923Mycerinus, the
14924son of Cheops.
14925He also left a pyramid much less
14926than that-of his father.
14927Asychis.
14928Anysis, who was blind.
14929In his
14930reign the Ethiopians invaded Egypt
14931with a mighty army under Sabacos
14932their king.
14933Sabacos, the Ethiopian, reigned
1493450 years.
14935Anysis the blind, again.
14936_
14937Sethos, the priest of Hephestus.
14938In his reign Sanacharibus, the king of
14939the Arabians and Assyrians, marched
14940against Egypt with a vast army. .....
14941And when Sethos and his attendants
14942arrived at Pelusium, during the night
14943a multitude of rats attacked their ene-
14944mies, and gnawed the bowstrings from
14945off their bows, and the thongs of their
14946spears;
14947so that on the morrow, as
14948they fled unarmed, great numbers of
14949thém were
14950slain.
14951From the first
14952king to Sethos the priest of He-
14953pheestus, are 341 generations of men.

14995say no God has made his appearance
14996in the human form. And during this
14997time they affirm that the Sun has.
14998twice risen in parts different from
14999what is his customary place, that is
15000to say, has twice risen where he now
15001sets, and has also twice set where he
15002now rises.
15003Twelve kings reigned over Egypt,
15004divided into twelve parts.
15005Psammetichus, one of the twelve,
15006reigned 54 years.
15007And in the 29th
15008year of his reign he beleagued Azo-
15009tus (Ashdod?) a large city of Syria,
15010and took it by siege.
15011—
15012Necos, the son of Psammetichus,
15013reigned 11 years. He was the first who
15014undertook to cut the canal through to
15015the RedSea. He also marched against
15016the Syrians and overcame them in an
15017engagement at Magdolus (Migdol-?)
15018* Herodotus, in the intermediate passage, makes this calculation from the
15019341 generations, allowing three generations to a century.

15362And he compelled them first
15363to build Kessa and to construct the
15364temple that is therein, and also the
15365temple in Heliopolis.
15366He had a
15367daughter whose name: was Merris,
15368who was married to a king named
15369Chenephres,* then reigning in Mem-
15370phis; for there were
15371at that time
15372several kings in Egypt. And as she
15373was barren, she brought up a child of
15374the Jews, and named it Moyses: but
15375when he arrived at manhood he was
15376called, among the Greeks, Musczeus.
15377And this is the Moyses who they

15441THERE is a very ancient God among
15442the Egyptians who is called Heracles :
15443and they assert, that from his reign to
15444that of Amasis, 17,000 years have
15445elapsed:
15446they reckoned
15447Heracles
15448among the Gods when the number

15553Bur the priests of Egypt, summing
15554up the time from the reign of the
15555Sun to the descent of Alexander upon
15556Asia, calculate it to be about 23,000
15557years.
15558They pretend, also, in their
15559—
15560fabulous legends, that the most an-
15561cient of the Gods reigned more than
155621200 years; and those that came im-
15563mediately after them in succession not
15564less than 300. Some of them attempt
15565to abate the incredibility of such a
15566multitude of years, by asserting, that
15567in former times, when the revolution
15568of the sun was not accurately ascer-
15569tained, the year consisted of one re-
15570volution of the moon.—Lib. I. p. 15.

16004a universal aphanism,
16005or destruc-
16006‘tion of all things, would take place
16007alternately by the force of fire and the
16008overwhelming powers of water), they

16011upon each of them their discoveries;

16013so that in case the brick pillar should
16014be dissolved by the waters, the stone
16015one might survive to teach men the
16016things engraved upon it, and at the
16017same time inform them that a brick

16134adyta in Egypt, being by birth a Se-

16136to his sovereign Ptolemzeus, humbly
16137greeting :
16138It is right for us, most mighty
16139king, to pay due attention to all things
16140which it is your pleasure we should
16141take into consideration.
16142In answer
16143therefore to your inquiries concerning
16144the things which shall come to pass in
16145the world, I shail, according to your
16146commands, lay before you what I
16147have gathered from the sacred books

16214We had formerly a king whose name
16215was Timaus.
16216In his time it came to
16217pass, I know not how, that God
16218was displeased with us: and there
16219came up from the East in a strange
16220manner men of an ignoble race, who
16221had the confidence
16222to invade our
16223country, and easily subdued it by
16224their power without a battle.
16225And
16226when they had our rulers in their
16227hands, they burnt
16228our cities, and
16229demolished the temples of the gods,
16230and inflicted every kind of barbarity
16231upon the inhabitants, slaying some,
16232and reducing the wives and children
16233of others to a state of slavery.
16234At
16235length they made one of themselves
16236king, whose name was Salatis:
16237he
16238lived at Memphis, and rendered both
16239the upper and lower regions of Egypt
16240tributary, and stationed garrisons in

16346and
16347finding it admirably adapted to his

16351it with a force of two hundred and
16352fifty thousand men completely armed.
16353To this city Salatis repaired in sum-
16354mer time, to collect his tribute, and
16355pay his troops, and to exercise his
16356soldiers in order to strike terror into
16357foreigners.

16565the moment when he despaired of

16808which his brother had enjoined him
16809not to commit: he violated the queen,

16813assumed the diadem, and openly op-

16957one of his predecessors in the king-
16958dom, had seen them.
16959And he com-

16961same name with himself, Amenophis,
16962the son of Papis, who seemed to
16963partake of the divine nature, both in
16964his wisdom and knowledge of futu-

16969the whole country of the lepers and
16970other unclean persons that abounded
16971in it.
16972Well pleased with this information,
16973the king gathered together out of
16974Egypt all that laboured under any
16975defect in body, to the amount of
16976eighty thousand, and sent them to the
16977quarries, which are situated on the
16978east side of the Nile, that they might
16979work in them and be separated from

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
