volume appear to be part of a translation into Irish, from 
some other language, of the ancient history of the Greeks, 
Romans, Persians, &e. These leaves are not in the same 
handwriting as the preceding treatise on medicine, nor do 
they appear to have been at any time part of the volume. 
The second page is marked Chapter III., between which and 
Chapter VI., on the fifth page following, no other chapter 
intervenes, so the leaves are not consecutive. The style of 
the translation is that of the early part of the sixteenth cen- 
tury.” 
The fragment now presented begins with the end of 
Chapter I. It contains the whole of Chapter II., and the 
beginning of Chapter III. 
The following is a translation of the heading of Chapter II. : 
‘** The second chapter, in which Belus, Ninus, and Semi- 
ramis, are spoken of, and of their successors in the kingdom 
of Babilon, until the fifth year of the reign of Sethos.” 
The chapter then opens in words to this effect: ‘* Syn- 
cellus says, following the opinions of Halanicus, Ctesias, 
Halicarnassus, and Hephalion, that Abraham was fourteen 
years dwelling in the country of Canaan, when Belus came 
to conquer Babilon.” 
Page 7 contains a list of the Judges and Chiefs of the 
Children of Israel, and of the contemporary kings of Egypt. 
The third chapter: ‘* Of the kings of Asiria from the 
time of Laostines to the nineteenth year of the reign of Nabu- 
chadonosor, who plundered and destroyed the Temple.”
