20. And Joseph lived in the land of Egypt ninety three years, and Joseph reigned over all Egypt eighty years.
21. And when the days of Joseph drew nigh that he should die, he sent and called for his brethren and all his father's household, and they all came together and sat before him.
22. And Joseph said unto his brethren and unto the whole of his father's household, behold I die, and God will surely visit you and bring you up from this land to the land which he swore to your fathers to give unto them.
23. And it shall be when God shall visit you to bring you up from here to the land of your fathers, then bring up my bones with you from here.
24. And Joseph made the sons of Israel to swear for their seed after them, saying, God will surely visit you and you shall bring up my bones with you from here.
25. And it came to pass after this that Joseph died in that year, the seventy first year of the Israelites going down to Egypt.
26. And Joseph was one hundred and ten years old when he died in the land of Egypt, and all his brethren and all his servants rose up and they embalmed Joseph, as was their custom, and his brethren and all Egypt mourned over him for seventy days.
27. And they put Joseph in a coffin filled with spices and all sorts of perfume, and they buried him by the side of the river, that is Sihor; and his sons and all his brethren and the whole of his father's household made a seven days' mourning for him.
28. And it came to pass after Joseph's death that in those days all the Egyptians began to rule over the children of Israel. And Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who reigned in his father's stead, took all the laws of Egypt under his counsel and conducted the whole government of Egypt, and he reigned securely over his people.
1. AND when the year came round, being the seventy second year from the Israelites going down to Egypt, it happened after the death of Joseph, Zepho, the son of Eliphaz, the son of Esau, fled from Egypt, he and his men, and they went away.
2. And he came to Africa, which is Dinhabah, to king Angeas of Africa, and Angeas received them with great honor and made Zepho the captain of his host.
3. And Zepho found favor in the sight of Angeas and in the sight of his people, and Zepho was captain of the host to king Angeas of Africa for many days.
4. And Zepho enticed king Angeas of Africa to collect all his army to go and fight against the Egyptians, and fight against the sons of Jacob to avenge the cause of his brethren.
5. But Angeas would not listen to Zepho to do this thing, for Angeas knew the strength of the sons of Jacob, and what they had done to his 140 . army in their warfare with the children of Esau.
6. And Zepho was in those days very great in the sight of Angeas and in the sight of all his people, and he continually enticed them to make war against Egypt, but they would not.
7. And it came to pass in those days that there was in the land of Chittim a man in the city of Puzimna, whose name was Uzu, and he became de generately deified by the children of Chittim; and the man died and had no son, only one daughter whose name was Jania.
8. And the damsel was exceedingly beautiful, comely and intelligent. There was none seen like unto her for beauty and wisdom throughout the land.
9. And the people of king Angeas of Africa, saw her and they came and praised her unto him, and Angeas sent to the children of Chittim requesting to take her unto himself for a wife. And the people of Chittim consented to give her unto him for a wife.
10. And when the messengers of Angeas were going forth from the land of Chittim to take their journey, behold the messengers of king Turnus of Bibentu came unto Chittim, for king Turnus of Bibentu also sent his messengers to request Jania for him, to take her unto himself for a wife, for all his men had also praised her to him; therefore he sent all his servants unto her.
11. And the servants of Turnus came to Chittim and they asked for Jania to be taken unto Turnus their king for a wife.
12. And the people of Chittim said unto them: We cannot give her, because king Angeas of Africa desired her to take her unto him for a wife before you came, and that we should give her unto him, and now therefore we cannot do this thing to deprive Angeas of the damsel in order to give her unto Turnus.
13. For we are greatly afraid of Angeas lest he come in battle against us and destroy us, and Turnus your master would not be able to deliver us from his hand.
14. And when the messengers of Turnus heard all the words of the children of Chittim, they turned back to their master and told him all the words of the children of Chittim.
15. And the children of Chittim sent a memorial to Angeas, saying: Behold Turnus has sent for Jania to take her unto him for a wife, and thus have we answered him; and we heard that he has collected his whole army to go to war against thee, and he intends to pass by the road of Sardunia to fight thee with his brother Lucus, and after Lucus joins him he will come to fight against thee.
16. And Angeas heard the words of the children of Chittim which they sent him in the record, and his anger was kindled and he rose up and assembled his whole army and came through the islands of the sea, the road to Sardunia, unto his brother king Lucus of Sardunia.
17. And Niblos, the son of Lucus, heard that his uncle Angeas was coming, and he went out to meet him with a heavy army, and he kissed him and embraced him, and Niblos said unto Angeas, when thou askest my father after his welfare, when I shall go with thee to fight against Turnus, ask of him to make me captain of his host, and Angeas did so, and he came unto his brother and his brother came to meet him, and he asked him after his welfare.
18. And Angeas asked his brother Lucus after his welfare, and to make his son Niblos captain of his host, and Lucus did so, and Angeas and his brother Lucus rose up and they went toward Turnus to battle, and there was with them a great army and a heavy people.
19. And he came in ships, and they came into the province of Ashtorash, and behold Turnus came toward them, for he went forth to Sardunia, and intended to destroy it and afterward to pass on from there to Angeas to fight against him.
20. And Angeas and Lucus his brother met Turnus in the valley of Canopia, and the battle was strong and mighty between them in that place.
21. And the battle was severe upon king Lucus of Sardunia, and all his army fell, and Niblos his son fell also in that battle.
22. And his uncle Angeas commanded his servants and they made a golden coffin for Niblos and they put him into it, and Angeas again waged battle toward Turnus, and Angeas was stronger than he, and he slew him, and he smote all his people with the edge of the sword, and Angeas avenged the cause of Niblos his brother's son and the cause of the army of his brother Lucus.
23. And when Turnus died, the hands of those that survived the battle became weak, and they fled from before Angeas and Lucus his brother.
24. And Angeas and his brother Lucus pursued them unto the high road, which is between Alphanu and Romah, and they slew the whole army of Turnus with the edge of the sword.
25. And king Lucus of Sardunia commanded his servants that they should make a coffin of brass, and that they should place therein the body of his son Niblos, and they buried him in that place.
26. And they built upon it a high tower thereupon the highroad, and they called its name after the name of Niblos unto this day, and they also buried king Turnus of Bibentu there in that place with Niblos.
27. And behold upon the high road be-
