HOW THE MEN O"F ROME DES"TROYED THE FAITH And then when he had completed the stablishing of
the Law, they made; according to what they had seen in JERUSALEM, the Law in the House of ZION for the nobles of the kingdom, and for those who were inside, and for those that were outside, and for the people, and for the islands, and for the cities, and for the provinces; and for all the inhabitants and for all their tribal kinsfolk they made ordinances in the same manner. And thus the eastern boundary of the kingdom of the King of ETHIOPIA is the beginning of the city of GAZA in the land of JUDAH, that is, JERUSALEM; and its boundary is the Lake of JERICHO, and it passeth on by the coast of its sea to LEBA and SAB.!; and its boundary goeth down to aists and 'ASNET; and its boundary is the Sea of the Blacks and Naked Men, and goeth up Mount KEBERENEYON into the Sea of Darkness, that is to say, the place where the sun setteth; and its boundary extendeth to FENE'EL and LAsIFALA; and its borders are the lands [near] the Garden (i.e., Paradise), where there is food in plenty and abundance of cattle, and [near] FENE~EN ; and its boundary reacheth as far as ZAWEL and passeth on to the Sea of INDIA; and its boundary is as far as the Sea of TARsIs, and in its remote (?) part lieth the Sea of MEDYAM, until it cometh to the country of GAZA; and its boundary is the place where [our enumeration] began. And moreover, the dominion of the King of ETHIOPIA belongeth to him and to his seed for ever.
