Text
Berossus, Babyloniaca F5:
Finally at that time there was Senecherib, the 25th of the rulers who compelled Babylon to submit to his domination. On the coast of Cilicia he defeated a group of Ionian warships and drove them into flight. He also built the temple of Sandes who is Heracles, erected bronze pillars and caused, he said, his great deeds to be inscribed truthfully. He also built Tarson according to the plan and model of Babylon so that the River Cydnus flows through just as the Euphrates flows through Babylon.
