volume appear to be part of a translation into Irish, from 

 some other language, of the ancient history of the Greeks, 

 Romans, Persians, &c. 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."
