BABYLONIAN LITERATURE. 95 



of whom, at least, extracts exist in our 

 collections of Greek manuscripts. 1 The con- 

 tents of these extracts tally precisely with 

 what we know, from Dr. Chwolson, of the 

 work of Tenkelusha. All tends to the be- 



2420, 2424 of the Bibliothique Imperiale (fol. 82 of the 2nd part 

 of the first manuscript, and fo. 31 of the second), and in the 

 abridgement of the Thesaurus Talism. of Antiochus, abridged by 

 Rhctorius (Xo. 1991 of the Bibl. Imp., fol. 118). The quotation 

 from Porphyry, mentioned by Salmasius and Westermann, is erro- 

 neous : the work which they had in view is by this Antiochus. 

 (See Fabricii Bibl. Grseca, Harles, torn. IV. pp. 151, 166; torn. 

 V. p. 741). I do not know why Fabricius proposes to identify 

 Teucer with Lasbas. 



1 In particular one fragment entitled Tevxpov TLepl rut/ Trapava- 

 re\x6vT'j)v, in the grand astrological collection of manuscripts 

 2420, 2424 of the Bibl. Imp. fol. 89 of the 3rd part of the first, 

 fol. 131 of the 5th part of the second. This second reference cor- 

 responds with that of Labbe, Nova Bibl. MSS. Libror. (Paris, 

 1653), p. 278. The same fragment is mentioned by Baudini 

 (Catal. Codd. Gr. Bibl. Laurent. II. col. 60, No. xiii.), under this 

 title : Hepl rcav Trapava.T\\6vTCi)v TOIS iQ' foSiois Kara Tevupov. 

 It appears more fully in the manuscript of Florence. M. Miller, to 

 whom I addressed mysolf to discover the manuscript cited by 

 Labbe, and to whom I owe the preceding information, adds the 

 following note : " According to the passage of Michel Psellus, 

 quoted by Salmasius (Exerc. Plin. p. 654), without saying from 

 whence he took it, and which I have also found in the Greek 

 manuscript 1630, fol. 228, Teucer must have written many works 

 (/3i/3\iW), among others : 1st, Ilepl ru>v eV ovpavy p5iW ; 2nd, 

 Tlepl rwv Trapa.vaTt\x6vT<av (this is the work already mentioned) ; 

 3rd, Ufpl TUV \eyofjievcav SeKavuv." We should also examine 

 Philosophumena, cura Duncker and Schneidcwin, p. 84, etc., and 

 Bardesanus, in Cureton's Spicil. Syriac, p. 24 ff.
