Hyrtl and his learned orientalistic collaborator have 

 tried to find the etymology of the word »zephin<; but 

 »alle Erhebungen iiber die Genealogie dieses Wortes waren 

 fruchtlos«. 



There can, however, according to my opinion, be no serious 

 objection to the identification of the » zephin « with the (Persian) 

 anatomical term »zarfin« (»zirfin« or »zurfin«) ^y*?y\ used 

 e. g. by ar-Razi (see the text in Koning, page 15), of 

 which Dr. de Koning remarks: »Endroit ou la machoire 

 inferieure se joint au crane. Cavite glenoi'de de l'os tem- 

 poral ou bien l'articulation meme?« See also Ron., Gloss.:
