312 CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT 



"371, July" (Pausan., Blair, and Clint), the Spartans invading Boeotia defeated at Leuctra by 

 the Thebans under Eparninondas. Spartan ascendancy thus brought to a close ; and "a, few months 

 later," the city of Megalopolis founded in Arcadia. 



Greek inscriptions of about this date (Franz.), presenting the following forms of letters, Z, n. 



Dolichos lubia of Abyssinia? A bean called in Egypt " lubia bceledi " (Forsk.) ; in which we 

 recognize the "lovos" identified by Galen, and Aretaeus, with the AOAIXJ2N of Anaxandrides, — 

 Polemon diaet. ii. 13, Theophrastus viii. 3, growing at Tempe in Thessaly according to Pliny xvi. 92, 

 and identified by Galen with the "phaseol6n" of Diodes, and Dioscorides ii. 130; also the"16via" 

 pods called "asparagos" of the "smilax kepaia" of Dioscorides ii. 175, a twining plant having 

 bicoloured kidney-shaped seeds : the seeds of D. lubia continue well known in Greece (E. A. Soph.) 

 though perhaps imported, and may be included under the term " phasoulia " applied according to 

 Fraas to allied species : D. lubia continues abundantly cultivated in Egypt, the black spot on its seeds 

 mentioned by Ebn Djoldjol, Delile, and Clot-Bey ; and according to Delile occurs also in Persia and 

 Hindustan. A species regarded by Forskal p. 133 as probably identical was observed by him under 

 cultivation in Yemen and called " didjre." 



" 370 B. C." (= 388 — "18 years " of the Afr.-Maneth. table, see below), NSctanSves succeeded 

 by T£6s, second king of the Thirtieth dynasty. " Two " rears are assigned to the reign of T£6s in 

 both the Maneth. tables. His name occurs in the quarries at Mokattam — (Birch). 



'• The same year " (Sm. b. d.), at Rome, on account of the war with Velitrae, the election of 

 consular tribunes permitted by C. Licinius and L. Sextius the regularly elected tribunes. 



369 B. C. (=408 — "39 years" of the Egyptian Chronicle, the Euseb.-Maneth. table giving 

 332 -j- "6-|-4-|-6-)-2o years " = 368 = 370 — "2 years " of both Maneth. tables), T^6s succeeded 

 by Ne'ctane'vos II., third king of the Thirtieth dynasty. Who reigned "eighteen" years (Egypt. 

 Chron., and Afr.-Maneth. table), and proved the last native Egyptian king. The hieroglyphic ovals 

 of king Nehtnebf occur at Beghe, on a temple built by him on Philae, on stone fragments at Karnak 

 and the neighbouring temple of Khons, and on " a little figure (brought from Pompeii." Glid. 

 analect., and Leps. k. pi. 50). 



At the First cataract, the earliest building on Philae (according to Lepsius eg. and sin. 119 to 

 122) is by Nectanebus : the island is not mentioned by Herodotus, — and appears to have been first 

 regarded as sacred under the Ptolemies. The hieroglyphic inscription on the obelisks there, is said 

 by Lepsius to have nothing to do with the Greek inscription. 



Piper sylveslre of Madagascar and the Mauritius Islands. Called in Madagascar " lale vitsit ; " 

 and possibly the African pepper mentioned by the comic poet Ophelion — (Athen. ii. p. 66, and 

 Daremb.) : P. sylvestre was observed by Flacourt i. 36 25 abounding in the forest throughout 

 Madagascar and Bourbon Island, eaten by wild pigeons, and its stem and leaves having the savour 

 of pepper ; by Bojer, indigenous in moist places in the forest on Mauritius, and called by the colonists 

 "poivrier sauvage." From transported specimens, is described by Lamarck ill. pi. 23 (Pers.). 

 Varthema found " a grove of cubebs " near Mozambique (edit. Badg.) : Bourbon cubebs is mentioned 

 by "most writers on Materia medica," the berries according to Th. Martins "not larger than grains 

 of millett," but the species producing them remains unascertained (Lindl.). 



" 36S B. C. = 1st year of Hien-wang, of the Tcheou" or Fifth dynasty — (Chinese chron. table). 



" The same year " ( ... Sm. b. d.), C. Licinius and L. Sextius still holding by re-election the 

 power of tribunes, Camillus for the fourth time appointed by the senate dictator ■ he resigned and 

 P. Manlius Capitolinus was appointed in his place. 



" In or about this year " (Apollod., D. Laert., Blair, and Clint.), Eudoxus visiting king Mausolus of 

 Caria; and recommended by Agesilaus II. to Nectanebus, proceeded to Egvpt. — He received 

 instruction in Egypt from Chonuphis ( ... Leps. eg. and sin. p. 386): and'brought back into 

 Greece the Celestial Sphere and the science of Astronomy. Eudoxus is regarded as the discoverer 

 of the principle of cut red lines.
