Your Objections against mine account.

Darius hath [objection α] 36 years, and Xerxes 21, which makes me somewhat to stagger at your beginning of Artaxerxes Longim. not that I doubt of the flight of Themistocles to Artaxerxes [objection β] after the Death of his Father Xerxes, (for of that I am well resolved) but that I would be satisfied [objection γ] better for the time of that Flight. Which that it fell on the 2 year of the 77 Olympiad can be no more proved out of [objection δ] Diodorus Siculus, than that he [objection ε] died the same year, which we know to be untrue. Diodorus doth, as Baronius in his Annals, where he findeth a Note of the Time expressed in his Authors, he followeth that direction, [objection ζ] where he findeth none, he placeth things at adventures. Cimon's Victory at Eurymedon, is by Eusebius set at the 4th. [objection ν] year of the 79 Olympiad. Diodorus placeth not it only, but also Cimon's Conquest of [objection θ] Eione, and the taking of Scyrus by the Athenians (even as he found them related together by Thucy∣dides l. 1. pag. 65. edit. Graeco-Lat. without any note of time,) at the 3d. year of the 77 Olympiad. But of this I desire to have further satisfaction from your self.
