I say first, that concerning the supputation of yeeres, there is great varietie amongst historiographers. Eusebius recko∣neth the time from the 55. Olympiade to the 64. Olympiade inclusiuè, that is, 40. yeres: others reckon. 21. yeres; others 23. others 30. neither agreeing with the account of the Iews, neither yet with the raign of the monarks. I say secondly, that the tēple was 46. yeres in building, as the Iews affirmed who best knew the time: and their assertion is not dissonant from the raigne of the monarks: for Cyrus raigned 30. yeares, Cam∣byses 8. yeares, Smerdes 7. moneths, Darius sixe yeares, and Nehemias after that builded vp the walles.
