What it is about
Volume II of Philo's treatises in C. D. Yonge's English translation.
Context and history
Philo comes down to us as a mass of independent treatises, and the division into volumes belongs to Yonge's nineteenth-century English edition, not to Philo. So the reference that works is the treatise title and the paragraph number, not the volume: that can be checked in any edition.

Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.

And it came to pass, as they were moving from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there. And one man said to his neighbour, Come, let us make bricks, and let us burr them with fire ; and they had bricks for stone, and asphalt for mortar. And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose head shall reach to heaven ; and
