Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[476] i.e., a poetic expression, as Cruice remarks, for closing the seal. (See Job ix. 7.)
[477] Schneidewin refers us to a passage from Berosus, who affirms that this person was styled Thalatta by the Greeks, Thalath by the Chaldeans; another denomination being Omorka, or Omoroka, or Marcaia. The Abbe Cruice, however, sets little value on these names, which, following the judgment of Scaliger, he pronounces spurious. It is unnecessary to remind scholars that the authenticity of Berosus has collapsed under the attacks of modern criticism.
[478] Miller suggests Νεφέλη, Cruice Nebo.
[479] Cruice thinks this may be a figure of the year and of twelve months.
[480] Miller has Κόρην.
[481] Or, “air.”
[482] Miller reads Μυγδώνη, others Μυγδόνη.
[483] Miller has ᾽Απραξία.
[484] Miller suggests Βουζύγης.
[485] Miller reads Φλέγων.
[486] γινομένων; some read κινουμένων, i.e., have different motions.
[487] κέντροις: Schneidewin suggests κέντρων.
[488] See Oracula Sibyllina Fragm., ii. ver. 1.
[489] περασαι; hence their name Peratics, i.e., Transcendentalists. Bunsen considers, however, that such a derivation as this was not the true one (see note 1, p. 60), but merely an after-thought. The title of one of the Peratic treatises, as altered by Bunsen from Οἱ προάστειοι ἕως αιθέρος into Οἱ Περάται ἕως αἰθέρος, i.e., “the Transcendental Etherians,” would agree with their subsequent assumption of this title. [Bunsen, i. p. 37.]
[490] Ex. iv. 2-4, 17; vii. 9-13.
[491] Or, “they say.”
