OF THE ASSYRIAN KINGS:

FROM ABYDENUS.*

“FUIT, inquit, Ninus, Arbeli (filius); qui Chaali; qui Arbeli; qui Anebi; qui Babii; qui Beli regis Assyriorum."

NINUS (says Abydenus) was the son of Arbelus; who was the son of Chaalus, the son of Anebus, the son of Babius, the son of Belus king of the Assyrians.

The passage above cited from Abydenus in the Armenian edition of Eusebius's Chronicle places Ninus the sixth in descent from Belus, introducing the same names in an inverted order, that occur in the following Assyrian dynasties of Syncellus and Africanus (see p. 70) between Teutæus the twentyeighth and Dercyllus the thirty-fourth. The Editor in a note produces some passages from Moses Choronensis and others to shew that such was the general opinion among the Armenians.
