[From the writings] of Castor, about the kings of Rome 
We have named the kings of the Romans one by one, starting from Aeneias son of Anchises, when he became king of the Latins, and finishing with Amulius Silvius, who was killed by Romulus, the son of his niece Rhea.  To them we will add Romulus and the others, who ruled Rome after him up until Tarquinius Superbus, for a period of 244 years.  After these kings, we will give a separate list of the consuls, starting from Lucius Junius Brutus, and finishing with Marcus Valerius Messalla and Marcus Piso, who were consuls when Theophemus was archon at Athens [61 B.C.].  Altogether, [these consuls governed] for 460 years. 
That is what Castor says.  Next it is appropriate to add a list of the emperors of the Romans, starting from Julius Caesar; and to mention the consuls for each year, attaching to them the numbers of the Olympiads. 
[At this point, the manuscript of the Armenian translation comes to an end. A very garbled idea of what Eusebius' list of consuls may have looked like can be found in the Excerpta Latina Barbari.]
