Now since _Eratosthenes_ and _Apollodorus_ computed the times by the Reigns of the Kings of _Sparta_, and (as appears by their Chronology still followed) have made the seventeen Reigns of these Kings in both Races, between the Return of the _Heraclides_ into _Peloponnesus_ and the Battel of _Thermopylæ_, take up _622_ years, which is after the rate of 36½ years to a Reign, and yet a Race of seventeen Kings of that length is no where to be met with in all true History, and Kings at a moderate reckoning Reign but 18 or 20 years a-piece one with another: I have stated the time of the return of the _Heraclides_ by the last way of reckoning, placing it about 340 years before the Battel of _Thermopylæ_. And making the Taking of _Troy_ eighty years older than that Return, according to _Thucydides_, and the _Argonautic_ Expedition a Generation older than the _Trojan_ War, and the Wars of _Sesostris_ in _Thrace_ and death of _Ino_ the daughter of _Cadmus_ a Generation older than that Expedition: I have drawn up the following Chronological Table, so as to make Chronology suit with the Course of Nature, with Astronomy, with Sacred History, with _Herodotus_ the Father of History, and with it self; without the many repugnancies complained of by _Plutarch_. I do not pretend to be exact to a year: there may be Errors of five or ten years, and sometimes twenty, and not much above. * * * * * A SHORT CHRONICLE FROM THE _First Memory of things in _Europe_ to the Conquest of _Persia_ by _Alexander_ the great._ _The Times are set down in years before Christ._ The _Canaanites_ who fled from _Joshua_, retired in great numbers into _Egypt_, and there conquered _Timaus_, _Thamus_, or _Thammuz_ King of the lower _Egypt_, and reigned there under their Kings _Salatis_, _Bœon_, _Apachnas_, _Apophis_, _Janias_, _Assis_, &c. untill the days of _Eli_ and _Samuel_. They fed on flesh, and sacrificed men after the manner of the _Phœnicians_, and were called Shepherds by the _Egyptians_, who lived only on the fruits of the earth, and abominated flesh-eaters. The upper parts of _Egypt_ were in those days under many Kings, Reigning at _Coptos_, _Thebes_, _This_, _Elephantis_, and other Places, which by conquering one another grew by degrees into one Kingdom, over which _Misphragmuthosis_ Reigned in the days of _Eli_.
