    "And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish
    to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem." S: "Am I now come up
    without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go
    up against this land, and destroy it" NO. 'The virgin the daughter of Zion
    hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem
    hath shaken her head at thee. Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? And
    against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?
    Even against the holy one of Israel" Isaiah.
    
    Further: "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went
    out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five
    thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all
    dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
    returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
    in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons
    smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia And
    Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."
    
    Cf. words of Nahum: "Woe to the city of blood! Full of lies and robbery."
    Nisroch=Dagon? NO. Eagle, not fish. Babylonians and Medes destroy. A hundred

    G. learned plunder in Egypt, steals from Nisroch. Ruled the Getae with his
    vile powers. Changed name to Z., the earth. A corpse. The dead go to Z.
    Reigned four hundred years, "an eyeblink, if not for the autocthoni then for
    the undead." Defeated by Alexander, defeated and captured Lysimachus, etc
    Finally his power sundered by Crassus, but the stone escaped, taken by elves
    to Kogaeon.
    
    Return to Kogaeon, return to Tomi. 'There he placed it under the skull of K., and let it
    work its awful magic No longer would he seek to rule, now the stone ruled
    in his stead.â€
    
    Strange kingdom. Corrupted by effusions. "Blood seeps slowly." The area
    worse and worse. White knights, lulled to sleep by the dripping of their own
    blood. Across the forest. Its maximum r.? Stopped by the sea "Zamolxis on
    his throne, laughing with the damned."
