Histories

Now the departure of the Ethiopian (they said) came about in this way. After seeing in a dream one who stood over him and urged him to gather together all the Priests in Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt and cut them in half, he fled from the country.

Seeing this vision, he said, he supposed it to be a manifestation sent to him by the gods, so that he might commit sacrilege and so be punished by gods or men; he would not (he said) do so, but otherwise, for the time foretold for his rule over Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt was now fulfilled, after which he was to depart:

for when he was still in Ethiopia [39,8] (nation), AfricaEthiopia, the oracles that are consulted by the people of that country told him that he was fated to reign fifty years over Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt. Seeing that this time was now completed and that he was troubled by what he saw in his dream, Sabacos departed from Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt of his own volition.
