Advocandi municipes eorum per quos notitia subministrata est, aliqui Manethon Aegyptius et Berosus Chaldaeus, sed et Hieromus Phoenix, Tyri rex, sectatores quoque ipso-rurum Mendesius Ptolemaeus et Menander Ephesius et Demetrius Phalereus et rex Iuba et Apion et Thallus et si quis istos aut probat aut revincit; Iudaeus Iosephus, antiquitatum Iudaicarum vernaculus vindex; Graecorum etiam censuales conferendi, ut quae quando sint gesta aut concatenationes temporum aperiantur, per quae luceant annalium numeri; peregrinandum est in historias et litteras orbis.
We should have to summon their fellow-citizens through whom this knowledge is furnished to us'to wit, one Manetho an Egyptian, and Berosus a Chaldaean, and in addition Hieromus, a Phoenician and King of Tyre; add their followers Ptolemy of Mendes, Menander of Ephesus, Demetrius of Phalerum, King Juba, Apion,a Thallus, and any other who confirms or refutes them. The Jew Josephus, native champion of Jewish Antiquities, must be consulted, and the Greek books of Origins, to reckon out when each set of events befel, to disclose the concatenations of eras, to elucidate the figures in our annals. It would mean an excursion into the histories and literatures of the world.
