[523] The Arundel Marbles are a work of this sort, and contain an account
of 1318 years. They begin from Cecrops, and come down to the 160th
Olympiad. So that this work was undertaken very late, after the Archonship
of Diognetus.

Entha gar ti dei pseudos legesthai, legestho; tou gar autou glichometha,
hoi te pseudomenoi, kai hoi tei aletheie diachreomenoi.] l. 3. c. 72. We
may be assured that these were the author's own sentiments, though
attributed to another person: hence we must not wonder if his veracity be
sometimes called in question; add to this, that he was often through
ignorance mistaken: [Greek: Polla ton Herodoton elenchei (Manethon) ton
