thus_o that_o they_o be_v without_o king_n and_o as_o to_o ctesias_n probable_o the_o archbishop_n see_v no_o reason_n why_o his_o authority_n shall_v be_v prefer_v to_o that_o of_o herodotus_n this_o for_o the_o median_a succession_n only_o i_o must_v add_v that_o the_o doctor_n make_v the_o archbishop_n to_o shorten_v it_o by_o 167_o year_n whereas_o the_o arch_a bishop_n make_v the_o duration_n of_o it_o but_o 130_o year_n short_a than_o the_o doctor_n himself_o do_v for_o from_o arbaces_n free_v the_o mede_n from_o the_o assyrian_a yoke_n to_o the_o end_n of_o astyages_n reign_n the_o

the_o reign_n of_o ninus_n to_o the_o death_n of_o sardanapalus_n the_o archbishop_n allot_v only_o 520_o year_n ground_v himself_o say_v the_o doctor_n upon_o herodotus_n and_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o the_o archbishop_n allege_v herodotus_n l._n 1._o c._n 95._o for_o this_o who_o in_o express_a word_n say_v as_o the_o doctor_n translate_v he_o that_o the_o assyrian_n hold_v the_o

the_o doctor_n to_o this_o he_o make_v a_o short_a answer_n serve_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o weight_n at_o all_o in_o it_o as_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o which_o it_o be_v vouch_v but_o then_o he_o promise_v to_o give_v a_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o herodotus_n in_o order_n to_o which_o he_o first_o set_v down_o the_o word_n of_o herodotus_n at_o large_a both_o in_o greek_a and_o
