kingship of Egypt — it was to him 

 [Phai-aohJ that Mil was son-in-law, 

 whose [proper] name was Goladh. The 

 latter came away from Egypt when 

 Pharaoh was dethroned, i.e. Mil, and his 

 wife, i.e. Scota daughter of Pharaoh, 

 and came to Spain and conquered Spain 

 by force. Pharaoh Ncotancbis was the 

 45th or 35th king after Pharnoh Cing- 

 ciris, who was di-owned in the Red Sea ; 

 914 years was the dui-ation of the 

 empire of the Pharaohs from Pharaoh 

 Cingciris to Pharaoh Nectanebis. Alex- 

 ander's empire was di'vidcd into 33 

 portions after him, and four men of [the 

 rulers of] these excelled them all : 

 Ptolemy son of Lagus in Egypt and in 

 Macedonia, Philip or liis son in .\sia 

 Minor, .\ntigonus in Babylon, Brutus 

 Seleucus Nicanor (?). Ptolemy, in suc- 

 cession to Alexander, 40 years. At the 

 close of Alexander's reign the sons of 

 MQ came to Ireland ; i.e. a year after 

 he slew Darius, and in the beginning of 

 his invasion and of his kingship, Mil 

 came to Spain. Alexander had reigned 

 5 years when the sons of Mil came to 

 Ireland, and the battle of Tailtiu was 

 fought, in which fell the T.D.D. with 

 their queens. Erimon had reigned 5 

 years when Alexander died in Babylon. 

 And these are the 200 years the T.D.D. 

 were in Ireland, from the last year of 

 the reign of Cambyses son of Cyrus to 

 the end of the reign of Darius :' Cam- 

 byses, 1 year: [Darius son of Hys]- 

 taspes, 35 yeors ; Xerses, 20 years ; 

 Artaxerses, 40 years; Xerxes, 2 months; 

 Sogdianns, 7 months; and Darius, 19 

 years ; Assucrus, 40 ; Artaxerxes Ochus, 

 30 ; Darius Ochus, 4 years ; Darius the 

 Great, 6 years. Those are the 200
