after Sesostris had left AEetes in Colchis, I think in the fifteenth or sixteenth year of Rehoboam:  so that Athamas, the son of AEolus and grandson of Hellen, and Ino the daughter of Cadmus, flourished ’till about the sixteenth year of Rehoboam. Sisyphus and his successors Ornytion, Thoas, Demophon, Propodas, Doridas, and Hyanthidas Reigned successively at Corinth, ’till the return of the Heraclides into Peloponnesus:  then Reigned the Heraclides, Aletes, Ixion, Agelas, Prumnis, Bacchis, Agelas II, Eudamus, Aristodemus, and Telestes successively about 170 years, and then Corinth was governed by Prytanes or annual Archons about 42 years, and after them by Cypselus and Periander about 48 years more.

Celeus King of Eleusis, who was contemporary to Erechtheus, [148] was the son of Rharus, the son of Cranaus, the successor of Cecrops; and in the Reign of Cranaus, Deucalion fled with his sons Hellen and Amphictyon from the flood which then overflowed Thessaly, and was called Deucalion’s flood:  they fled into Attica, and there Deucalion died soon after; and Pausanias tells us that his Sepulchre was to be seen near Athens.  His eldest son Hellen succeeded him in Thessaly, and his other son Amphictyon married the daughter of Cranaus, and Reigning at Thermopylae, erected there the Amphictyonic Council; and Acrisius soon after erected the like Council at Delphi.  This I conceive was done when Amphictyon and Acrisius were aged, and fit to be Counsellors; suppose in the latter half of the Reign of David, and beginning of the Reign of Solomon; and soon after, suppose about the middle of the Reign of Solomon, did Phemonoe become the first Priestess of Apollo at Delphi, and gave Oracles in hexameter verse:  and then was Acrisius slain accidentally by his grandson Perseus.  The Council of Thermopylae included twelve nations of the Greeks, without Attica, and therefore Amphictyon did not then Reign at Athens:  he might endeavour to succeed Cranaus, his wife’s father, and be prevented by Erechtheus.

Between the Reigns of Cranaus and Erechtheus, Chronologers place also Erichthonius, and his son Pandion; but I take this Erichthonius and this his son Pandion, to be the same with Erechtheus and his son and successor Pandion, the names being only repeated with a little variation in the list of the Kings of Attica:  for Erichthonius, he that was the son of the Earth,
