3.1. In the twelfth year, Jubal founded the empire of the Celtiberians.
3.2. Soon after, Samothes, who is also Dis, established the Celts; no one at that period could vie with him in wisdom, hence his name, Samothes.

12.1. The second king of the Babylonians, Jupiter Belus, the son of Saturnus Nymbrotus, reigned sixty-two years, and on the site which he had marked out for the building of Babylon, he erected a fortress rather than a town.

13.1. His reign was one of peace, from its commencement to its close.
13.2. In the third year of the reign of Belus, Comerus, faithful to the customs of Scythia, of which he was a native, taught the Italians to found cities (urbes) with chariots or carts, hence the people were called Veii, from the Saga word Veia, which means a chariot.
13.4. If a town thus constituted be a small one, it is called Veitula; if a large one, it is called Ulurdum; and if a metropolis, it is called Cyochola.

18.1. In the fifty-sixth year of Belus, Chemesenuus came into Italy in the direction of the Comeri.

20.2. A short time before this, Araxa and her son Scytha had occupied the whole of the region which lies to the west of Armenia, and extends to Sarmatia in Europe.
20.3. When they quitted Armenia, they left there Sabatius-Saga with the title of king.

21.1. Jupiter Belus found out that he could not conquer the rest of the nations without first conquering Sabatius, the king of the Sagas, or putting him to death; accordingly, he determined to compass his death secretly.
21.2. The Saturn of Armenia, fearing that he could not escape the innumerable snares laid for him by Jupiter Belus, fled for safety and concealed himself amongst the Caspian Sagas.

22.1. When about to pay the last debt of nature, Jupiter Belus commanded his son Ninus to destroy the power of Sabatius-Saga utterly, and to bring all the tribes into subjection to the Babylonian empire, because that empire was the first that had been established in the world.

23.1. Having heard of the command of Belus, Sabatius concealed himself amongst the Sagas of Bactria, until a favourable opportunity should arise either of taking flight or returning to the throne.
23.2. The forces which Jupiter Belus had prepared against him drove him away from his kingdom about the time of Semiramis.

On the other hand, Chemesenuus the Saturn of the Egyptians, proceeded to degrade the Comeri in Italy; he was assisted in this by the assembled strangers and immigrants, whom he had brought together with the view of forming colonies in that country, and who, as a body, were called Mountaineer Aborigines by the Italians.

35.3. Janus enacted laws and taught them to the people in Vetulonia, where also, he was chief ruler.
