 Some supposed agrimonia to be stich- 

 wort, though as the translator of the Her- 

 barium had called it japchfe, a very 

 appropriate name, we should not have

 sacrificing from time to time one of his 

 sons to Woden. Si'San andaj'Sist en

 It was afterwards called On-sickness, 

 when a man dies from old age, without 

 agony. That the former element in 

 Anajiypm, Anasott, is the same cannot 

 be doubtful.
