150 CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT 



Baal-hanan succeeded by Hadar or Hadad II., eighth king of Edom (Gen. xxxvi. 39, and 

 1 Chron. i. 50). 



Ramessu VI. succeeded by his brother Ramessu VII. Atamum-nuterhikten, fifth 

 king of the Twentieth dynasty. The name of Ramessu VII. occurs at Medinet Abu, 

 and in his own tomb at Bab-el-meluk. 



As early probably as this date, the " paieona " composed by Tynnichus of Chalcis 

 (Plat. ion. 5). The "paieona " is described by others, as originally sung at Delphi to 

 celebrate the killing of the serpent Python by Apollo : — it was sung by the Greek army before the 

 walls of Troy (according to Homer il.). 



Ninety-third -generation. Jan. 1st, 1200, mostly beyond youth : Micah of Mount Ephraim (Judg. 

 xvii) : and among Greeks, Tros father of IIus (Horn. il. xxiv. 215 to 240), Tyro daughter of Salmo- 

 neus and mother of Neleus and Amythaon (Horn. od. xi. 234 to 258). 



1 199 B. C. (= 1071 -|- " 128 years" of Euseb. ii., and Clint, i. p. 345), Gordius succeeded by his 

 son Midas as king of Phrygia. — Midas promoted the worship of Dionysus or Bacchus, and founded 

 the city of Ancyra (Herod, i. 14, Strab. vii. p. 304, Paus. i. 4. 5, and Ael. var. hist. iv. 17). 



Jiosa centifolia of Eastern Caucasus. A rose called in Italy " rosa a bottoni " (Lenz) in Greece 

 " triantaphullfa " (Fraas), in Egypt " ouard " (Del.), in Egyptian "v£rt" or " ert " (ms. Borg.) or 

 "ouert" or " oueYt " (ms. Par.): "rotha" having sixty petals and exceeding other kinds in fragrance 

 were springing up spontaneously in the gardens of Midas in Macedonia — in the days of Herodotus 

 viii. 138: the most fragrant roses yielding the sweetest ointment came from Cyrene in the days of 

 Theophrastus vi. 6. 5 : R. centifolia was observed by Forskal, Delile, and Clot-Bey, cultivated for 

 commercial purposes in Egypt ; by Fraas, in the gardens of Greece ; is well known in the gardens 

 of Italy and middle Europe (Desf., Pers., Red. pi. 25 and 52, and Lenz); and according to Lindley 

 is indigenous in "woods in the eastern parts of the Caucasus." Its petals are employed medicinally, 

 and "for the distillation of rose water" (Lindl.). A fragrant oil of roses was known in the time of 

 the Trojan war (Horn. il. xxiii. 186); the " nrth " at the king's table in Cant. i. 12, rose-ointment 

 for the dinner-table mentioned by Pliny xxi. 10, may also be compared: the term "narthos" being 

 extended by the modern Greeks to a similar perfume, the essential oil of lavender (see R. Damascena, 

 Lavandula, and Valeriana jatamansi). 



" 1198 B. C. = 1st year of Wou-y, of the Chang" or Fourth dynasty — (Chinese chron. table).

The same year (= 1071 A- " 23 -f- 30 -\- 48 -)- 25 years " of Castor in Euseb. i. p. 134), Erich- 

 thonius succeeded by his son Pandion, sixth Attic king. 



The same year (" in the reign of Pandion at Athens," Castor in Euseb. i. p. 135, and " of Lynceus 

 at Argos," Tat. and Clem. Alex., and "about 130 years before the fall of Troy," Clint, i. p. 86), arrival 

 of Cadmus in Greece : bringing (according to Sophocles, Herodotus, Aristotle, and ancient authors 

 generally) the alphabet and art of writing from Phoenicia. 



One of his companions, Membliarus, was left upon the island of Kalliste (afterwards called 

 "There," Herodot. iv. 147, Pausan. iii. 1. 7, and Schol. Pind. pyth. iv. 88). Traces of ancient col- 

 onization from Phoenicia and Palestine, are found in geographical names in various parts of Greece : 

 as in the Peloponnesus a river called " Iardanos" or Jordan, another in Crete (Horn. il. vii. 135, od. 

 iii. 292, and Pherecyd.) ; and in . . . a city called " Hebron." 



The worship of Bacchus also brought by the Cadmeans — (Herodot. ii. 49, and Pausan. ix. 5).

 possibly marking the accession of Ramessu VII I., sixth king of the Twentieth dynasty.

 Osiris, Onouris, and Horus (Birch). 



Leaving Boeotian Thebes, Cadmus and Harmonia proceeded Westward and North- 

 ward to the Encheleans on the Illyrian shore of the Adriatic ; and near Rizon (Risano on the 

 Gulf of Cattaro) founded the new city of Bouthoe (Herodot., Apollod., Nicand., Strab., Etym. magn., 

 Stephan., and C. Mull, geogr. min. i. p. 31) :— called " Butuam " by Pliny, and at the present day 

 " Budua." The temple or tomb of Cadmus in that vicinity is mentioned in the Scylacean Periplus 

 and by Eratosthenes, Phylarchus, Apollonius Rhodius, and others. 



" 1 191 B. C. = 1st year of Ti-y, of the Chang" or Fourth dynasty — (Chinese chron. table). 



As early perhaps as this date (Graha Munjari tables, Puranas, and Bentley as. res. viii. p. 232) 

 Cripa reigning in Hindustan. 



Phinehas being high-priest (Ex. vi. 1, Num. xxv., Josh, xxii., and Judg. xx. 28), civil war; ending
