u In the Chronicle itself a somewhat different order is observed 
from the one I have given, t Abreha and Atzbeha being inserted 
after El Ahiawva, and not in the situation where I have ventured to 
put them ; but, if any reliance may be placed upon the list, it is 
evidentthat, in the arrangement found in the Chronicle, theremust 
exist a very striking error, for the w hole sum of years there given 
from the 8th year of Bazen to the 13th of Abreha must amount 
to four hundred and sixty-five years, whereas the Chronicle itself 
expressly states that a period of three hundred and thirty only had 
elapsed. This inconsistency first led me to suspect the mistake, 
which, on subsequent and attentive consideration, I became satis- 
fied had taken place, and therefore I feel myself justified in arrang- 
ing Abreha and Atzbeha according to the date of the period in 
which they reigned, after El Semera," and considering the re- 
mainder of the names contained in the list as following in regular 
succession. The correctness of this distribution is strongly con- 
firmed bvthe circumstance of the inadequate number of sovereigns 
* It is probable that all these five names should be also removed. El Ahiawya being 
placed before El Abreha, and the other three following immediately after, and then, 
instead of two, there would be only one Ameda ; but I have not ventured to make this 
alteration, though to confirm the propriety of it, one of the Chronicles states, that the 
space between the 8th year of Bazen and tiie 13th of Abreha, was three hundred and 
thirty three years. 
t Vide Mr. Murray's Appendix to Vol. VII. of Mr. Bruce, who partly collected his 
information from lists which I brought into the country.
