For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Chus; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Chusites.

e the language of the Greeks, and has not, by the use of that dialect, escaped the name of Cethim. And so many nations have the children and grandchildren of Japhet possessed. Now when I have premised somewhat, which perhaps the Greeks do not know, I will return and explain what I have omitted; for such names are pronounced here after the manner of the Greeks, to please my readers; for our own country language does not so pronounce them: but the names in all cases are of one and the same ending; for the name we here pronounce Noeas, is there Noah, and in every case retains the same termination. 2. The children of Ham possessed the land from Syria and Amanus, and the mountains of Libanus; seizing upon all that was on its sea-coasts, and as far as the ocean, and keeping it as their own. Some indeed of its names are utterly vanished away; others of them being changed, and another sound given them, are hardly to be discovered; yet a few there are which have kept their denominations entire. LLED CITIUS BY THOSE WHO USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE GREEKS AND HAS NOT BY THE USE OF THAT DIALECT ESCAPED THE NAME OF SEETHUM AND SO MANY NATIONS HAVE THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN OF JAPATH POSSESSED NOW WHEN I HAVE PREMISED SOMEWHAT WHICH PERHAPS THE GREEKS DO NOT KNOW I WILL RETURN AND EXPLAIN WHAT I HAVE OMITTED FOR SUCH NAMES ARE PRONOUNCED HERE AFTER THE MANNER OF THE GREEKS TO PLEASE MY READERS FOR OUR OWN COUNTRY LANGUAGE DOES NOT SO PRONOUNCE THEM BUT THE NAMES IN ALL CASES ARE OF ONE AND THE SAME ENDING FOR THE NAME WE HERE PRONOUNCE NOEAS IS THEIR NOAH AND IN EVERY CASE RETAINS THE SAME TERMINATION THE CHILDREN OF HAM POSSESSED THE LAND FROM SYRIA AND AMMINUS AND THE MOUNTAINS OF LIBANUS SEIZING UPON ALL THAT WAS ON ITS SEA COAST AND AS FAR AS THE OCEAN AND KEEPING IT AS THEIR OWN SOME INDEED OF ITS NAMES ARE UTTERLY VANISHED AWAY OTHERS OF THEM BEING CHANGED AND ANOTHER SOUND GIVEN THEM ARE HARDLY TO BE DISCOVERED YET A FEW THERE ARE WHICH HAVE KEPT THEIR DENOMINATIONS ENTIRE
