**In the year** 27 of the reign of Nevuchadnetzar, which was year 3346, Mitzrayim was given into his hand, and he destroyed the country and plundered its spoil, and it was payment for his army as HaShem had said to him [(Yechezkel 29)]. And it says in Yerushalmi that he completed them and their remnant was exiled from Mitzrayim to the land of Cush. And it is written in Yalkut that many idolatrous priests who escaped from the land of Kittim (Cyprus) and those from Yerushalayim who fled there were captured by him [(Yam Akhi letter 72)].

The year is written as follows: the year was in a Sabbatical, and this was the year 50 of Yovel, and in that year were exiled to Bavel those who descended from Yerushalayim in year 3346, in the days of Nevuchadnetzar [(Sha'ar HaDorot section 2)] [and it continues that he was not allowed to take from them until year 3350 more than 72 (Sha'ar HaDorot 72)].
