(77) And these two come from the north to the sea and pour their waters into the Erythraean Sea in the east.

(9) And for Tiras there came forth the seventh portion, four great islands • in the midst of the sea, which reach to the portion of Ham [and the islands of Kamaturi came out by lot for the sons of Arpachshad as his inheritance].

(9) And for Arpachshad came forth the third portion, all the land of the region of the Chaldees io the east of the Euphrates, bordering on lV the Red Sea, and all the waters of the desert close to r ' the tongue of the sea which looketh towards! Egypt, all the land of Lebanon and Sanfr and 'Amana to the border of the Euphrates.

(9) And for Asshur came forth the second / portion, all the land of Asshur and Nineveh and r bhinar and to the border of India, and it ascendeth and skirteth the river.

(77) And the remaining four come forth on the side of the north to their own sea, 〈two of them〉 to the Erythraean Sea, and two into the Great Sea and discharge themselves there [and some say: into the desert].

(9) And for Aram e there came forth the fourth portion, all the land of Mesopo- tamia between the Tigris and the Euphrates to the north of the Chaldees to the border of the mountains of Asshur and the land of 'Arara.

(9) And Shem also divided amongst his sons, and the first portion >• came forth for Elam and his sons, to the east of the the river Tigris till it approacheth the east, the whole land of India, and on the Red Sea on its coast, and -the. waters of D£dan, and all the mountains of Mebri and '£la, and all the land of Susan and all that is on the side of Pharnak to the Red Sea and the river Tina.

(8) And it extendeth northerly to the north, and it extendeth to the moun- tains of Qelt * towards the north, and towards the sea of Ma'uk, and it goeth forth to the east of Gadir as far as the region of the waters of the sea.

(4) Certainly they crossed the sea when they came there to the East, when they went to receive the investiture of the kingdom. And this was the name of the Lord, King of the East, where they went. When they arrived before Lord Nacxit, which was the name of the great lord, the only supreme judge of all the kingdoms, he gave them the insignia of the kingdom and all its distinctive symbols. Then came the insignia of Ahpop and Ahpop-Camhá, and then the insignia of the grandeur and the sovereignty of the Ahpop and the Ahpop-Camhá. And Nacxit ended by giving them the insignia of royalty, which are: the canopy, the throne, the flutes of bone, the cham-cham, yellow beads, puma claws, jaguar claws, the heads and feet of the deer, dais, snail shells, tobacco, little gourds, parrot feathers, standards of royal aigrette feathers, tatam, and caxcon. All the foregoing they carried, those who came after going to the other side of the sea to receive the paintings of Tulán, the paintings, as these were called, in which they wrote their histories.

(8) And it turneth from here towards the south towards the mouth of the great sea on the shore of (its) waters, and it extendeth to the west to ' Af ra,* and it extendeth till it reacheth the waters of the river Gihon, and to the south of the waters of Gihon,* to the banks of this river.

(1) I know that Eastern Gate of Heaven (the South of it is by the lake of Cha-ru, and the north of it by the stream of Reu), from whence Rā saileth with favouring gales

(9) And there came forth for Lud8 the fifth portion, the mountains of Asshur and all appertaining to them till it reacheth ^ * -. the Great Sea, and till it reacheth the east of Asshur his brother.

(8) And for Japheth came forth the third portion beyond * the river Tina to the north of the outflow of its waters, and it extendeth north-easterly to the whole region of Gog4 and to all the country east thereof.

(3) I know the inner gate of the garden of Aarru, out of which cometh Rā, in the East of the sky; the South of it is by the lake of Cha-ru, and the North of it by the stream of Reu; thence Rā saileth with favouring gales

(1) THEY came over unto the other side of the sea, and arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, over against Galilee.

(1) 'These rivers, my son, run, the eastern (like the Gangâ) toward the east, the western (like the Sindhu) toward the west. They go from sea to sea (i. e. the clouds lift up the water from the sea to the sky, and send it back as rain to the sea). They become indeed sea. And as those rivers, when they are in the sea, do not know, I am this or that river,

(9) And for Meshech came forth the sixth portion, all the region beyond the third tongue • till it approacheth the east of Gadir.

(8) And it extendeth to the region of the river Tina in a north- easterly direction until it approacheth the boundary of its waters towards the mountain Rafa, and it turneth round towards the north. 2Q. This is the land which came forth for Japheth and his sons as the portion of his inheritance which he should possess tor himself and his sons, for their generations for ever; five great islands, and a great land in the north.

(24) But their kingly regimen or government is in the deep, in the four coasts or quarters of the equinoctial line or circle, of which I will write in another place.

(77) And the fourth quarter, named the north, is divided into three parts: the first of them is for the dwelling of men: and the second contains seas of water, and the abysses and forests and rivers, and darkness and clouds; and the third part contains the garden of righteousness.
