And it came to pass at the turn of the year, seventy-two years after the descent of Israel to Egypt [this is year 2310], that Tzepho son of Elifaz son of Esav fled from Egypt with his men, and they came to Africa, that is Dinhava, to Angias king of Africa. And he appointed Tzepho as general of his army, and he found favor in his eyes and in the eyes of his people. And he incited Angias to go to war against Egypt and the children of Yaakov, but he would not listen to him, for he knew the might of the children of Yaakov.

And so he would constantly incite him, but he would not agree. In those days there was in the land of Kittim in the city of Patzimna a man whose name was Uzzo. And he became for the children of Kittim a god of delusion, and he died and had no son, only one daughter whose name was Yania. There was no one like her in beauty and her wisdom in all the land.

And the king of Africa, Angias, wanted to take her as a wife, and also Turgos king of Bivanitu wanted to take her. And there was a great war between them, and Angias prevailed and took her as a wife [as mentioned]. At that time, Pharaoh king of Egypt commanded to build himself a strong palace in Egypt, and he commanded to bring the children of Yaakov to help Egypt with the building. And they made for him a beautiful and splendid building, and he renewed his kingdom.

Zevulun son of Yaakov died in this year, seventy years after the descent of Israel to Egypt [it appears the error is here, as the seventy after their descent is year 2308, so he died before Yosef. And our Sages said that Yosef died before all his brothers, and he died seventy years after their descent. It must be that what is said should be corrected to the death of Yosef, and it should be seventy-one or seventy-two or seventy-four after their descent].

And Zevulun died at the age of one hundred and fourteen years, and he was placed in a coffin and given into the hands of his children [see his birth in year 2197, and this needs investigation]. His bones were buried in Tzidon [see year 2510].
