To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
27. Chouther Taurus ; which is. King : reigned 7 years. 3643. 28. Meures: reigned 12 years. 3655. 29. Chomaephtha ; which is. The world beloved by Vul- can: reigned 11 years. 3666. 30. Agkoimios Ochutiu^annos : reigned 60 years. 3726. 31. Penteathuris ; which is. Priest of Venus: reigned 42 years. Digitized by Google ERATOSTHENES. 83 3768. 32. Stamenemes II. : reigned 23 years. 3791. 33. Sistosiehermes. The power of Hercules : reigned 55 years. 3846. 34. Maris : reigned 43 years. 3889. 35. Siph...oas, or Mercury the son of Vulcan : reigned 5 years. 3894. 36. reigned 14 years. 3908. 37. Phrouron, or Neilos : reigned 5 years. 3913. 38. Amouthantaios : reigned 63 years. In the case of several of these names^ we have no difficulty in determining from what they are translated ; thus, Helio-dorus may be Ra-meses ; Ammono-dotus, Amen-othph ; Taurus, Horus, spelt Thorns in the enchorial language ; Maris, Mephres (Thothmosis I.); Mercury, Thothmosis II. ; Stamenemes, Amonmai ; Thusimares the Sun, Thuoris (Rameses V.) This series of kings would be of great use in our chronological enquiries, if we could identify the names with those of Manetho ; we could then determine what Eratosthenes meant by the ^^ year of the world," and make use of his methodical arrangement of re- ferring them all to a common epoch.
