Translation - Latin-English - Quoniam liber iste in quibusdam, iuxta hebraicum...

Since this book, according to the Jewish way of writing, has been truncated in some things, that were in part lacking, however the facts are told in the two books of Paralipomenon, which got their name because of this: in fact in the Greek language of origin "Paralipomenon" means "Of the things that have been left out" or "About the things that have been left out": because here there is a certain completion about the things, that have been left out in the Books of the Kings and in the other historical books.
