Etruscans, Tyrrhenians or Tuseans. 179 
So also Virgil, . 
Junoni cane vota lubens Dominam que potentem 
Supplicibus supera donis. _ Aneid IIT. 438, 
And again speaking of the mother of the Gods. 
Et vincti currum Dominae subiere liones. 
Virgil i in the sixth book of the ineid gives the title to Pro- 
serpine. It may then be here a title. 
Upon the concluding syllable of this first word we shall 
find all the information we require in Bryant. He 
says that Aur, sometimes expressed Or, Ur, and Our, 
signifies both light and fire. ‘* Hence came the Orus of 
the Egyptians, a title givento the Sun. Quod solem ver- 
dimus, id in Hebreo est Ur ; quod lucem, et ignem, etiam et 
Solem denotat- It is often compounded with the term above, 
and rendered Abor, Aborus, Aborras ; and it is otherwise 
diversified. This title was often given to Chus by his de- 
scendants whom they stiled Chusorus. From Aur, taken 
as an element, came Uro, Ardeo ; asa Deity, oro, hora- 
Zeus was stiled Cham.Ur, by the Greeks; and under this 
title was worshipped at Halicarnassus. fe is so called by 
Lycophron ."’ 
Sant in the next word seems to be an epithet. Sanctus is a 
verbum solemne, and was often applied by theRomans as 
an epithet to their Gods, ‘The following are examples. 
Sequimur Sancte Deorum, 
Quisquis ese 
Vilgil Aineid. IV. 576, 
Et cantant laudes Termine sancte tuas. 
Ovid Fastor IL. 
Examples of this application of the word Sanctus might be 
multiplied, It is very frequently found so applied in aacient 
jascriptions. 
_ Bryant enables us also to understand the concluding  sylla- 
ble of this word. ‘To the prefixes pi and phiis generally 
joined er by which the clement of fire is denoted. They 
called their chicf God Pur: and dealt particularly in 
divination by lots, termed of old Purim, Cicero takes no- 
tice
