 in Holland "abeel," in France "aubel," in Germany "alber," in Italy "albero" or "albera" (Prior), 

 in Germany "silberpappel," in Italy "gattice " or "gattero'' or "pioppo bianco" (Lenz), in Greece 

 " lSuke " (Sibth.), in Egypt "hour" (Del.), and the above Armenian surname '-sos" — is referred 

 here by writers : the " ah£rSis " (from " hour " the current name in Egypt) is mentioned by Hesiod, 

 and Homer il. xiii. 389 to xvi. 4S2 ; but the word becoming obsolete, " l£uke " was substituted before 

 the days of Aristophanes nub. 1087, Nicander fragm., Uioscorides, Pausanias v. 13, and Galen, the 

 'TSuke " being expressly mentioned by Theophrastus as occurring in Egypt: P. alba was observed 

 by Forskal, Delile, and Clot-Bey in the gardens of Egypt ; by Sibthorp, Chaubard, and Fraas, from 

 the Peloponnesus and Greek islands to Constantinople, planted, and besides wild in the forest. 

 Westward, the "populus alba" is enumerated by Pliny xvii. 32 and xxiv. 32 as planted in Italy; 

 "albaro" planks are mentioned in a chart "A. D. 971" (Prior); P. alba is described by Lobel 

 pi. 2. 193; is termed "p. alba majoribus foliis " by Tournefort inst. 592; was observed by Lenz 

 wild in Italy, and is known to grow throughout middle Europe as far as Britain (Pers., and 

 Engl. bot. pi. 1618). Eastward from the Caspian, is known to grow throughout Northern Asia, 

 being enumerated by A. Decandolle among plants extending two-thirds around the Subarctic circuit 

 of the Globe. By European colonists, was carried to Northeast America, where it continues 

 sparingly planted in both our Northern and Southern States, but extending by suckers may have 

 acquired firm foothold. 



The fortified city of Van in Armenia, is attributed to Semiramis (Samuel Aniens, i. 7). Also 

 according to other writers, various extensive structures in the region of the Euphrates : as the " walls 

 of Babylon ; " meaning possibly the so-called " Median wall," traces of which are found " extending 

 from the Tigris forty miles obliquely to the Euphrates." 



1820 B. C. (= 17S2 + "38 years" of Euseb. i. and ii., and Syncell.), accession of Ninyas or 

 Zames, son of Ninus and Semiramis, as Assyrian emperor. He is named also by Castor, and Dio- 

 dorus ii. 1 to 31. 



The name of king Sebakem-f, of the Fifteenth dynasty, occurs at Konosso, at Hama- 

 mat on the Kosser road (Leps. d. ii. pi. 151), and on a coffin dated in his reign (and 

 now in the museum at London). — His title is next in the order of succession in the 

 chamber of kings at Karnak. 



" 1818 B. C. = 1st year of Kie-kouei, of the Hia" or Third dynasty — (Chinese 

 chron. table). 



1815 B. C. (= 1849 — "34 years " of Gen. xi. 16), Peleg born to Eber. —The Hebrews appear 

 to have derived their name from Eber: the word "phlg" signifies division, and to this day anions 

 the Arabs an opposing cl.iss claim to be descendants of Peleg's brother, Joktan. 



The usual formula relating to the doctrine of Transmigration, is inscribed (according to Birch) 

 on the scarabaeus of king Sebakem-f — (now in the museum at London).
