In the Armenian version of the Eusebio-Manetho Table, the 

 earlier date has not been found ; but the lower date is regu- 

 larly given in the Regnal numbers, for, counting downwards, 



B. C. 1413 _ 11 _" 8 — 15 — 5 — 68 — 40 — 194 " 



= B. C. 1072. 



This lower date is confirmed by Ctesias, in his statement 

 that the Assyrian Empire commenced 1000 years before the 

 Fall of Troy, and lasted 1360 years : the dissolution of the 

 Assyrian Empire being regarded by chronologists as fixed to 

 the year B. C. 711, we have for Ctesias's date of the Fall of 

 Troy, 



B. C. 711 + " 1360 — 1000 " = B. C. 1071. 



Further, the Greek discrepance of Fourteen Olympiads, or 

 fifty-six years, occurring equally in Manetho's Tables, may be 

 fairly applied to his Greek date of B. C. 1127: when, 



B. C. 1127 — 56 = B. C. 1071, 



Manetho's reckoning proves to be the same with that of Cte- 

 sias, and perhaps of the Greeks generally. Dr. Pickering 

 thinks, therefore, that JS. C. 1071 is within a year of the Fall 

 of Troy ; but has not ascertained whether the separate years 

 will now close the chronological gap mentioned by Clinton. 

 If so, and the date proves correct, it will carry the invasion of 

 Greece by the Heraclidse to the reign of Solomon.
