κτίζουσι δὲ τὴν πυργοποιίαν καὶ οἰκοδομοῦσι τὴν Βαβυλῶνα. καὶ οὐκ ηὐδόκησεν ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ τῷ ἔργῳ τῆς αὐτῶν ἀνοίας· διεσκέδασε γὰρ αὐτῶν τὰς γλώττας καὶ ἀπὸ μιᾶς εἰς ἑβδομήκοντα δύο διένειμεν κατὰ τὸν τῶν τότε ἀνδρῶν ἀριθμὸν εὑρεθέντων, ὅθεν καὶ Μέρο πες οὗτοι κέκληνται διὰ τὴν μεμερισμένην φωνήν, καὶ τὸν πύργον ἀνέμων βολὴ κατέστρεψεν. ἐμερίσθησαν γοῦν ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν δεξιά τε καὶ εὐώνυμα, οἱ μὲν παλίνορσοι ὅθεν ἐκβεβήκασιν. ἄλλοι δὲ ἐπὶ τὰ πρόσω τῆς ἀνατολῆς κεχωρηκότες, ἕτεροι δὲ τὴν Λιβύην κατειλήφασιν·
