when Ægypt with Assyria strove

Hume, Patrick. Annotations on Milton's Paradise Lost London: Printed for Jacob Tonson ..., 1695. Print.

Egypt has had many Names; first, Misreia, of Misraim the Son of Cbus, the Son of Cham, it's first Planter; next Oceana, of Oceanus, one of its Kings; then Osiriana, of Osiris; lastly, Egypt, of Egyptus Ramafes, one of its Princes of great Power. Assyria, a great Country in Asia, bounded on the East with Media, on the West with Mesopotamia, Northward by Armenia, and Southward by Susiana: Most Historians derived it of Asbur the Second Son of Shem, which Sir Walter Rawleigh's History of the World Disproves.
