ABRAHAM after this married Keturah, by whom six sons were born to him,
men of courage, and of sagacious minds: Zambran, and Jazar, and Madan,
and Madian, and Josabak, and Sous. Now the sons of Sous were Sabathan and
Dadan. The sons of Dadan were Latusim, and Assur, and Luom. The sons of
Madiau were Ephas, and Ophren, and Anoch, and Ebidas, and Eldas. Now, for

The son of Eurypon was Prytanis, in whose reign began the enmity of the Lacedaemonians against the Argives, although even before this quarrel they made war against the Cynurians. During the generations immediately succeeding this, while Eunomus the son of Prytanis and Polydectes the son of Eunomus were on the throne, Sparta continued at peace,
but Charillus the son of Polydectes devastated the land of the Argives—for he it was who invaded Argolis—and not many years afterwards, under the leadership of Charillus, took place the campaign of the Spartans against Tegea, when lured on by a deceptive oracle the Lacedaemonian
