Then Ragu, Phalek's son, lived 232 years, and died.

2Yet when Ragu, Phalek's first-born son, was 130 years old, there reigned one of the first kings that ever reigned on the earth, named Nimrud, a giant.

3That Nimrud saw a cloud of light under heaven; a mere apparition of Satan.

4And he inclined his heart to it, and coveted its beauty; and then called to one whose name was santal, a carver, and said to him, "Carve me a crown of gold, after the pattern of that cloud."

5Then Santal made him a crown of gold which Nimrud took and placed upon his own head.

6Wherefore was it said that a cloud had come down from heaven, and overshadowed him, and he became so wicked, as to think within himself that he was God.

7And in those days Ragu was 180 years old, and in his 140th year, Yanuf reigned over the land of Egypt. (he was otherwise named Pan-ophis, after the Coptic word for India or city, 'ophis')

8He is the first king that reigned over it; and he built the city of Memphis, and named it after his own name.

9That is Misr; whose name is rendered Masrin.

10This Yanuf died; and in his stead, in the days of Ragu, one from the land of India reigned, whose name was Sasen; and who built the city of Saba.

11And all the kings who reigned over that country were called Sabroans, after the name of the city. And it was so, until the days of Solomon, son of David.

12Then again Phar'an reigned over the children of Saphir, and built the city of Saphirf with stones of gold; and that is the land of Sar'ania,

13and because of these stones of gold, they say that the mountains of that country and the stones thereof are all of gold.

14Then the children of Lebensa of the country of India, made king over them, aman named Bahlul, who built the city of Bahlu.

15Then Ragu died in his 289th year.
