 with the manning of four barks, and 

 twelve married couples to each bark, 

 and a soldier over and above without 

 wife. Two famous chiefs they had, Ucc 

 and Occe. They went upon the Caspian 

 Sea, out on the o\iter ocean, and came 

 lound Asia southeastward to the island 

 of Taprobana. They were three months 

 there and three months more on the sea, 

 till at length they reached Egypt, at the

 of Ireland by I'urtholon, at the end too 

 of 914 years after Pharaoh's drowning

Nectanebis Pharaoh, 18 years. It is 

 he that was king of Egypt on the arrival 

 there of [lit. in front of] Mil son of Bile, 

 with his fleet [or party of exiles] ; and 

 [M(l] was hospitably kept by him for 

 eight years, and [Pharaoli] gives his 

 daughter Scota to him. And that was 

 the time when Alexander the Great, son 

 of Philip, went into Asia, and brought 

 Egypt to submission and banished 

 Pharaoh Nectanebis from Egypt into 

 Ethiopia, and he first dethroned Arta- 

 xerxes at another time in Egypt. 

 Afterwards, a city of kings in Egypt is 

 built by Alexander, Alexandria its name. 

 And the native sovereignty of Egypt 

 is then broken up, and the Greeks take 

 headship there, and the Greeks of 

 Alexandria held the sovereignty thence- 

 forward. 80 it was then that Mil came 

 from Egypt to his own kindred.' Finit.
