	The Kingship of the Assyrians		Beginning of the nation of the Hebrews			The Kingship of the Sicyonians		The Kingship of the Egyptians			BC
	Ninus son of Belus was the first to reign over all Asia except for the Indies, for 52 years. In the 43rd year of the rule of this Ninus, Abraham was born.			In his reign Abraham is born among the Hebrews; when Abraham was 100 years old he fathered Isaac.		In Greece, however, Europs was the second to rule over the Sicyonians in Greece, for forty-five years. In the twenty-second year of his reign Abraham was born.			From here onwards was the 16th government among the Egyptians, which they call a dynasty, at which time the Thebans were ruling for 190 years.





	43	a Ninus founded the city of Ninum in the land of the Assyrians, which the Hebrews call Nineveh.		b While Ninus is reigning among the Assyrians, in his final years Abraham is born.	1	22	e While Ninus was reigning among the Assyrians, Aegialeus, from whom Aegialea was named, which is now called the Peloponnesus, ruled first among the Sicyonians for 52 years. After whom the second was Europs, whose name was also used as a place name.		f While Ninus was reigning among the Assyrians, the Thebans rule over the Egyptians.	1	2016

Note: In the editions of Fotheringham and Helm, pp.78-9 have 27 lines rather than the 26 of all the other pages. Unfortunately 'O' is a 30-line manuscript and I have no access to any 26-line manuscripts, so cannot tell whether this is intentional or merely an unfortunate error in Fotheringham. I myself did not notice this until most of the pages had been laid out, since I started with the endmost portion, which forced me to repeat this feature. It is perhaps possible that Helm had the same experience and was obliged to follow the pattern for the same reason. No-one who has not laid out 200+ pages of the Chronicle will fully appreciate the impossibility of rectifying such an error at a late stage.
