A larger Slavonic document from the latter years of Clement, AD 65-99, about the life story of Moses, with some extra details here and there, notably the years Moses spent in Midian (and Ammon, the Egyptian Canaanite kingdom). (Ammon, between Damascus and Moab, apparently was set up as a good kingdom at that time, which allowed Moses to rule over them for a time. Then Moses travels to Midian and is thrown in prison for 5 years, where Zipporah nurses him. Moses then finds a magical mace in the garden like the sword in the stone, a relic passed down from Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to Joseph, etc) (the cave of treasure at Nahal Mishmar along the Dead Sea, is a hoard of copper maces, and other items discovered in 1961.)
