Post sardanapallum regem, assyriorum ultimum monarchum, regnauerunt in assyria phul et alii sequentes per ordinem, qui, recuperande dignitatis causa, bella finitimis inferentes, decem tribus captiuantes, usque ad ezechiam regnauerunt, quando sennacherib , a judea in assyriam destructo exercitu profugus, a filiis in templo est interfectus.

After King Sardanapalus, the last ruler of the Assyrians, Pul and all the following reigned in Assyria in order, who, to regain their dignity, waged war against their neighbours, capturing ten tribes. They reigned until the time of Hezekiah, when Sennacherib, who fled from Judea into Assyria after his army was destroyed, was killed by his sons in the temple.
