He says _Phut_ or _Apollo_ travell’d the earth, and came to the rude inhabitants of _Parnassus_. His business was to bring men to civility and manners, to use corn for their food. _Pindar_ writes of him, ————_He travell’d o’er earth and sea, setting watch-towers on hill-tops, among the nations, consecrating temples, and building groves._ _Lycophron_ mentions _Typhon_’s watch-towers _in Arimis_, which probably is the _Peræa_ of _Sanchoniathon_, the east part of _Syria_, where _Homer_ says the ευνη, or bed of _Typhon_ was, in a field abounding with oaks. ’Tis not unusual for _Apollo_ to be represented in the character of a military captain. _Hygin. fab._ 140. And he really was a leader of a vast colony of his people into _Egypt_, then possess’d by his elder brother _Misraim_. Of this more hereafter.

The _Lydians_ there are the people or posterity of _Lud_, _Thoth_, his brother.
