542 THE HORITES. 



the Persian Kai Kobad, who is also Acliumai, is Ssndabeli, and tlie 

 daugliter of OcMiae is Cydlppe. It is utterly impossible that this 

 can be mere coincidence. A son of Dorus is Teutamas, and Toth- 

 mosis is a successor of Ahmes or Achumai. The mythic ancestors of 

 the Dorians is ^gimius, and in him we again find Achumai appear- 

 ing. Dymas, the son of ^gimius, is but a shortened form of 

 Teutamas of Dorus, and Tothmosis of Ahmes. Herodotus rightly 

 brings the Dorians from Egypt. Mazocchi correctly traces them to 

 Dor and Endor and similar towns south of Carmel.™ Their cities 

 are the same as those of the Heliads of Rhodes, for Helius is Hellen, 

 Actis Xuthus, and Ochime ^gimius or Dorus. Epidaurus is a later 

 form of Caphtor. I have said that I know nothing of the ^Eolians. 

 Their story connects intimately with that of the Dorians, and it 

 may be that ^olu's is also Alvan. Sisyphus is certainly his brother 

 Shepho, QSbalus is Ebal, and (Enomaus Onam. Time will not per- 

 mit me to show the extent of my researches in connection with them. 



lUyria may here engage our attention, as lying between Greece 

 and Italy. I should never have been induced, had not other 

 evidence led me to it, to divide this vt^ord into the two constituents 

 II and Ra, although this combination is justified by the Chaldsean 

 equivalent of Alvan, Alorus." The Eneti, or descendants of Anah, 

 we have already seen to be an Illyrian people. In Illyria were also 

 found Oreitce (Horites), and Dassaritse (Zorathites), a name which 

 at once calls to remembrance the Indian Dasaratha. The modern, as 

 vfell as the ancient, Albanians are the people of Alvan, and their 

 other name Skipetar, as well as their town Epidaurus, represent their 

 old home in Kebt-Hor and their Bible name Caphtorim. A glance 

 at Illyrian geography will furnish abundant evidence of the Horite 

 ancestry of the brave Albanians. 



Italy. — Hyde has already, in the Arabic Sambula, provided a com- 

 mon groimd on which Sybil and Spica, the Hebrew Shobal and the 

 Egyptian Sebek, may meet. The Sabine god Sabus, and the whole 

 Sabellian family unite in this connection. The Rhodian Helius 

 becomes the Latin Sol, and the Hebrew Alvan the Latin Silvanus, 

 by the same rule. Silvanus, the enemy of children, is the cruel Ilus 



" Vide note 37. Dora was probably the most southern of the Phceniciau towns. Its inhahi- 

 tants were never subdued. Stephanus of Byzantium calls its founder Dorus, son of Neptune.
