Sesac from his making the river Nile useful, by cutting channels from it to all the cities of Egypt, was called by its names, Sihor or Siris, Nilus and Egyptus.  The Greeks hearing the Egyptians lament, O Siris and Bou Siris, called him Osiris and Busiris.  The Arabians from his great acts called him Bacchus, that is, the Great.  The Phrygians called him Ma-fors or Mavors, the valiant, and by contraction Mars.  Because he set up pillars in all his conquests, and his army in his father’s Reign fought against the Africans with clubs, he is painted with pillars and a club:  and this is that Hercules who, according to Cicero, was born upon the Nile, and according to Eudoxus, was slain by Typhon; and according to Diodorus, was an Egyptian, and went over a great part of the world, and set up the pillars in Afric.  He seems to be also the Belus who, according to Diodorus, led a Colony of Egyptians to Babylon, and there instituted Priests called Chaldeans, who were free from taxes, and observed the stars, as in Egypt.  Hitherto Judah and Israel laboured under great vexations, but henceforward Asa King of Judah had peace ten years.
