described by _Herodotus_, was _Sesac_; and that _Herodotus_ erred only in
calling him _Sesostris_; or that he was called _Sesostris_ by a corruption
of his name. Our great Chronologer, _Sir John Marsham_, was also of opinion
that _Sesostris_ was _Sesac_: and if this be granted, it is then most
certain, that _Sesostris_ came out of _Egypt_ in the fifth year of
_Rehoboam_ to invade the nations, and returned back into _Egypt_ in the
14th year of that King; and that _Danaus_ then flying from his brother,
came into _Greece_ within a year or two after: and the _Argonautic_
expedition being one Generation later than that invasion, and than the
coming of _Danaus_ into _Greece_, was certainly about 40 or 45 years later
than the death of _Solomon_. _Prometheus_ stay'd on _Mount Caucasus_ [46]
thirty years, and then was released by _Hercules_: and therefore the
_Argonautic_ expedition was thirty years after _Prometheus_ had been left
on _Mount Caucasus_ by _Sesostris_, that is, about 44 years after the death
of _Solomon_.

All nations, before the just length of the Solar year was known, reckoned
months by the course of the moon; and years by the [47] returns of winter
and summer, spring and autumn: and in making Calendars for their Festivals,
reckoned thirty days to a Lunar month, and twelve Lunar months to a year;
taking the nearest round numbers: whence came the division of the Ecliptic
into 360 degrees. So in the time of _Noah_'s flood, when the Moon could not
be seen, _Noah_ reckoned thirty days to a month: but if the Moon appeared a
day or two before the end of the month, [48] they began the next month with
the first day of her appearing: and this was done generally, 'till the
_Egyptians_ of _Thebais_ found the length of the Solar year. So [49]
_Diodorus_ tells us that _the _Egyptians_ of _Thebais_ use no intercalary
months, nor subduct any days_ [from the month] _as is done by most of the
_Greeks__. And [50] _Cicero_, _est consuetudo Siculorum cæterorumque
Græcorum, quod suos dies mensesque congruere volunt cum Solis Lunæque
