560 PRIMITIVE HISTORY OF THE lONIANS. 



derived lier name from the same original as Tentyra, TyndarenSj. 

 Onderah, CEnotrus, etc. As we have found that a daughter of Onam, 

 as Onnos, Cannes and Deion, married Achuzam as Aches, Hea and 

 Ixion, so, Latin mythology unites a daughter of Janus to Picus, a 

 Coptic form of the name of the same Ashchurite. ^*^ 



The family of Jadag seems to be the most important of the two- 

 families of Cnam in the Latin or Italian traditions. Jadag himself 

 is -iEthex, the son of Janus, from whom the ^thices of Thessaly are 

 said to have descended. Ion also had settled among the Perrhoehii of 

 Thessaly, and thence Janus is said to have come to Italy. I have 

 already indicated the strong Onite traces found in this Creek region. 

 Another name for Jadag is, I am convinced, the Etruscan Tages, the 

 son of Genius, who appeared to Tarchon, teaching him divination, 

 and to whose oracles or books reference is made by various writers. 

 The form of Evander's name would favour his being the same as 

 Ahban or Abn-ra, but several facts concerning him combine to show 

 that, although he brought the worship of Pan or Ahban to Italy, he 

 is rather Jonathan, the son of Jadag, Tages or ^thex. Arcadia, his 

 original home, simply denotes his Jerachmeelite descent ;^^ but Pallan- 

 tium, the town in which he was born, and Pallanteum, the city 

 which he founded in Italy, lead us to the name of Pallas, who is 

 called his son, and thus to Peleth, the son of Jonathan. The Aven- 

 tine, on which he was worshipped as a god, sufficiently shows that the 

 final r is a remnant of the Egyptian solar termination ra. The mother 

 of Evander, named Carmenta, is called Tegean. I do not know who 

 Jadag married, but Jonathan himself was united to a princess of the 

 house of Tekoa, a dajaghter of Achashtari. With the Palatine hill, 

 we find not only Pallas and his father Evander associated, but also 

 Castor and Pollux, and Pallatia, the wife of Latinus. In the Greek ' 

 connection we have found it probable that Pollux or Polydeukes and 

 Pallas or Peleth, are the same, Castor being Achashtari, his grand- 

 father on the mother's side. Latinus also, whom we have supposed 

 to be Othniel, as L-Atin, is made the husband of Pallatia, in strict 



i*s PiciTS, as I have shown in a former paper, sometimes denotes Achuzam, as Phix and 

 the eponym of Phacussa, sometimes Coz the son of Ammon, the true Bacchus and lather of 

 CEnopion, wlio married the granddaugliter of Achuzam. 



144 Thucydides and other writers give the Italians an Arcadian origin. Areas, who is made 

 son of Ore] ' nenos, is really the same, lioth names denoting Jerachmeel. The Arcadian Azanes 

 are the descendants of Ozem, son of Jerachmeel. Tlie Pan who is called brother of Areas- 

 must, I think, be Onam himself, his son. Aveutinus is the name of an Italian king.
