59 The Rornans are here signified, according to Rabinical doctrine, as descendants of Esau.

60 The "kingdom of the Greeks" is here reckoned from the "era of the Greeks," b.c. 311-12, in the reign of Seleucus Nicanor, to the end of the Ptolemies; b.c. 43,-269 years, as above. From b.c. 43 to the death of the Emperor Philip, a.d. 249, makes up (approximately) the 293 years of the text. Philip was reputed to have been the first Christian Emperor, (Euseb.
