And again, when JACOB fell sick in EGYPT he called his brethren and his children, and made them to swear that they would not leave his bones in the land of EGYPT, and said, "When God maketh you to return take ye my bones with you and mingle them in the grave of my fathers.">

113. Concerning the Chariot and the Vanquisher of the Enemy

And the Archbishops (or, Patriarchs) answered and said unto GREGORY, the Worker of Wonders, "Behold now, we know well, and thou hast made us to understand that the Kings of ETHIOPIA have become glorious and great through ZION. And the Kings of ROME also have become great because of the nails [of the Cross] that HELENA made into a bridle, which hath become the vanquisher of the enemy for the King of ROME. And the chariot belongeth to the King ofETHIOPIA, and it hath vanquished his enemy. And tell us also how long the vanquisher of the enemy shall remain with the King of ROME, and the chariot containing ZION with the King of ETHIOPIA. Tell us, for God hath revealed unto thee what hath been, and what shall be, vision and prophecy, like MOSES and ELIJAH."
