Arpachshad son of Shem died forty-eight years into Yitzchak's life [(this is Year 2096)].

In the days of Yitzchak, kings began to reign over the island of Candia. In his days, a woman named Vistana began to lead houses of virgin women who throughout their lives would only serve as servants of the deities. And a woman named Mendivah was the first to find the crafts needed for wool: how to clothe and also how to make oil and how to use it, and iron garments for war, and she led in warfare and the wisdom of calculation.

And in his days were found also the art of catching fowl and birds, and extracting iron from its source, and building houses, and how to make salt. And in his days they began to worship the star Tzedek (Jupiter) which is called Jupiter [(Seder HaKabbalah)].
