===Of the Chaldean Kings===
===Of the Chaldean Kings===
This is the history which Berossus has transmitted to us. He tells us that the first king was Alorus of Babylon, a Chaldean; he reigned ten sari: and afterwards Alaparus, and Amelon who came from Pantibiblon: then Ammenon the Chaldean, in whose time appeared the Musarus Oannes the Annedotus from the [[Erythrean sea]]. (But Alexander Polyhistor anticipating the event, has said that he appeared in the first year; but Appolodorus says that it was after forty sari; Abydenus, however, makes the second Annedotus appear after twenty-six sari.) Then succeeded Megalarus from the city of Pantibiblon; and he reigned eighteen sari: and after him Daonus the shepherd from Pantibiblon reigned ten sari; in his time (he says) appeared again from the [[Erythrean sea]] a fourth Annedotus, having the same form with those above, the shape of a fish blended with that of a man. Then reigned Euedoreschus from [[Pantibiblon]], for the term of eighteen sari; in his days there appeared another personage from the [[Erythrean sea]] like the former, having the same complicated form between a fish and a man, whose name was Odacon. (All these, says Apollodorus, related particularly and circumstantially whatever Oannes had informed them of: concerning these Abydenus had made no mention.) Then reigned Amempsinus, a Chaldean from Laranchae; and he being the eighth in order reigned ten sari. Then reigned Otiartes, a Chaldean, from Laranchae; and he reigned eight sari. And upon the death of Otiartes, his son Xisuthrus reigned eighteen sari: in his time happened the great deluge. So that the sum of all kings is ten; and the term which they collectively reigned an hundred and twenty sari.
