THE HORITES. 537 



is plainly a later Horus, who appears on tlie Egyptian monuments as 

 a successor of AcLumai. As for Feridun, he belongs to a different 

 line, liis ancestor Sliali-Giliv being a Bible Caleb, the form of the 

 Persian connecting with yEsculapius, and the Aiskulabita of the 

 Book of ISTabathean Agriculture. 



India. — I am not by any means the first to connect Seb and Siva. 

 Siva maj;ries Iswara, and of him are Haru, Hari, and the seven 

 mothers of the earth, the Harits. He is the great Deev like Kabil, 

 and the seven Harits carry him. He is the sun, and also, like Seb 

 and Hobal, Cronus, although this title is often given to his son Cala 

 or Caliya, who is II, litis or Alvan, with the fall ]30wer of the initial 

 ayin, and corresponds to the Persian Gilshah. The haunt of Siva 

 and Caliya is Cailasa, which is Elusa or Khulasa in the Geraritic 

 region of Palestine, over which Abimelech ruled. Vaivaswat, the 

 son of Caliya, is not very like Jachath ; nevertheless, I am persuaded 

 that it is the same word, the Yivaghat of the Persian being identical, 

 and merely requiring the prefix of the Coptic article with redupli- 

 cation to complete it. Yaivaswat is still the sun, and is the father 

 of Yama, whom numberless writers have identified with the Egyptian 

 Ahom and the Persian Achtemenes.^^ Yama's domain is the south 

 and dark region. Gopt is one of his attendants, or rather he, as 

 Gopt, is an attendant of Siva. Siva himself is called Gopati, which 

 is Coptus and ^gyptus. Siva's son is Cartikeya, but Pococke has 

 found him in Kerkestes, son of ^gyptus.^* A daughter of this line 

 is Times, in whom is represented the female name Ahmes, so common 

 in Upper Egyptian records. She is Durga, but Durga is Zirah the 

 hornet, for its second letter is ayin, hence Zirga. In the ^olic 

 Greek the change of z to d is exceedingly common. A better con- 

 nection still for the Zorathites of Shobal's line is found in the full 

 name of an early Indian monarch, who appears in the Ramayana, 

 Dasaratha, king of Oude, or of the Aud people. Zorathi and 

 Dasaratha are the same, although I do not think that any Pharaoh 

 bore this generic title. Lakshman and Pama are his sons, the 

 former giving the Arab Lokman, and connecting with the raonkey 

 race that built the bridge of stones by which Pama passed to Ceylon 

 from the mainland, just as Lokman is one of the monkey Adites. 

 Pama at once recalls the Pameses who descended from Achumai,
