gifjc lITir inian ' 1 M A Chronicle of Lamron OW it came to pass in the time of Namraj, King of Lamron, tfiat a report of the great learning of that people was noised abroad throughout the land of Av. And behold, an hundred fourscore and ten of the children of Av arose and journeyed hence. And when they had come into the land, they and all their worldly goods, they rested for a time and began to spy out the coun- try about them. And they said among themselves, Behold the land of Lamron. Is it not a goodly place, for here we may find rest from our labors, free from those who did urge us on our journey? And they pitched their tents in Lamron. Now, the inhabitants of Lamron had settled themselves in the plains and in the more goodly territory, so that the strangers within their gates must needs abide in the hilly regions. Then Namraj, the King, gathered together all that had journeyed to his kingdom. And when they were all come he stood before them and spake unto them, saying: It is fitting that I should give unto you a name by which you shall be known among my people. Henceforth you shall be called the tribe of Sroinuj, which is, being inter- preted, the ijounger, because you come but now into a new country. I do beseech you, oh, tribe of Sroinuj, that you waste not your time m idleness, neither spend your father ' s substance in riotous living. Arise, and get you to some trade. Choose you what course you will pursue. And straightway, when they had chosen, they set to work each to his appointed task. 24
