790. _Pul_ founds the _Assyrian_ Empire.
788. _Asychis_ Reigns in _Egypt_, and builds the eastern Portico of the
Temple of _Vulcan_ very splendidly; and a large Pyramid of brick, made of
mud dug out of the Lake of _Mœris_. _Egypt_ breaks into several Kingdoms.
_Gnephactus_ and _Bocchoris_ Reign successively in the upper _Egypt_;
_Stephanathis_; _Necepsos_ and _Nechus_, at _Sais_; _Anysis_ or _Amosis_,
at _Anysis_ or _Hanes_; and _Tacellotis_, at _Bubaste_.
776. _Iphitus_ restores the Olympiads. And from this _Æra_ the Olympiads
are now reckoned. _Gnephactus_ Reigns at _Memphis_.
772. _Necepsos_ and _Petosiris_ invent Astrology in _Egypt_.
760. _Semiramis_ begins to flourish; _Sanchoniatho_ writes.
751. _Sabacon_ the _Ethiopian_, invades _Egypt_, now divided into various
Kingdoms, burns _Bocchoris_, slays _Nechus_, and makes _Anysis_ fly.
747. _Pul_, King of _Assyria_, dies, and is succeeded at _Nineveh_ by
_Tiglathpilasser_, and at _Babylon_ by _Nabonassar_. The _Egyptians_, who
fled from _Sabacon_, carry their Astrology and Astronomy to _Babylon_, and
found the _Æra_ of _Nabonassar_ in _Egyptian_ years.
740. _Tiglathpilasser_, King of _Assyria_, takes _Damascus_, and captivates
the _Syrians_.
729. _Tiglathpilasser_ is succeeded by _Salmanasser_.
721. _Salmanasser_, King of _Assyria_, carries the Ten Tribes into
captivity.
719. _Sennacherib_ Reigns over _Assyria_. _Archias_ the son of _Evagetus_,
of the stock of _Hercules_, leads a Colony from _Corinth_ into _Sicily_,
and builds _Syracuse_.

_Tarsus_ and _Anchiale_ in one day.
710. _Lycurgus_, brings the poems of _Homer_ out of _Asia_ into _Greece_.
708. _Lycurgus_, becomes tutor to _Charillus_ or _Charilaus_, the young
King of _Sparta_. _Aristotle_ makes _Lycurgus_ as old as _Iphitus_, because
his name was upon the Olympic Disc. But the Disc was one of the five games
called the _Quinquertium_, and the _Quinquertium_ was first instituted upon
the eighteenth Olympiad. _Socrates_ and _Thucydides_ made the institutions
of _Lycurgus_ about 300 years older than the end of the _Peloponnesian_
war, that is, 705 years before _Christ_.
