In the context where the above tradition occurs, which, as is
obvious, relates to the founding of Rome, we meet with another
on the same subject as follows:--When Solomon married the
daughter of Pharaoh, the Angel Gabriel thrust a reed into the
sea, stirring up therewith the sand and mud from the bottom.

mountain."

_Shabbath_, fol. 118, col. 2.
