elve years earlier, _An._ 3, Olymp. 54: and that of _Draco_ still
ten years earlier, _An._ 1, Olymp. 52. After _Solon_ had visited _Croesus_,
he went into _Cilicia_ and some other places, and died [130] in his
travels: and this was in the second year of the Tyranny of _Pisistratus_.
_Comias_ was Archon when _Solon_ returned from his first travels to
_Athens_; and the next year _Hegestratus_ was Archon, and _Solon_ died
before the end of the year, _An._ 3, Olymp. 57, as above: and by this
reckoning the objection of _Plutarch_ above mentioned is removed.

We have now shewed that the _Phoenicians_ of _Zidon_, under the conduct of
_Cadmus_ and other captains, flying from their enemies, came into _Greece_,
with letters and other arts, about the sixteenth year of King _David_'s
Reign; that _Europa_ the sister of _Cadmus_, fled some days before him from
_Zidon_ and came to _Crete_, and there became the mother of _Minos_, about
the 18th or 20th year of _David_'s Reign; that _Sesostris_ and the great
_Bacchus_, and by consequence also _Osiris_, were one and the same King of
_Egypt_ with _Sesac_, and came out of _Egypt_ in the fifth year of
_Rehoboam_ to invade the nations, and died 25 years after _Solomon_; that
the _Argonautic_ expedition was about 43 years after the death of
_Solomon_; that _Troy_ was taken about 76 or 78 years after the death of
_Solomon_; that the _Phoenicians_ of _Tyre_ were driven from the _Red Sea_
by the _Edomites_, about 87 years after the death of _Solomon_, and within
two or three years began to make long voyages upon the _Mediterranean_,
sailing to _Spain_, and beyond, under a commander whom for his industry,
conduct, and discoveries, they honoured with the names of _Melcartus_ and
_Hercules_; that the return of the _Heraclides_ into _Peloponnesus_ was
about 158 years after the death of _Solomon_; that _Lycurgus_ the
Legislator Reigned at _Sparta_, and gave the three Discs to the Olympic
treasury, _An._ 1, Olymp. 18, or 273 years after the death of _Solomon_,
the _Quinquertium_ being at that time added to the Olympic Games; that the
_Greeks_ began soon after to build _Triremes_, and to send Colonies into
_Sicily_ and _Italy_, which gave the name of _Graecia magna_ to those
countries; that the first _Messenian_ war ended about 350 years after the
death of _Solomon_, _An._ 1, Olymp. 37; that _Phidon_ was contemporary to
_Solon_, and presided in the Olympic Games in the 49th Olympiad, that is,
397 years a
