COLLEGiVM PASTOPHORORVM 
The College of Priefts called V aflophori, a Name 
taken*, as fome fuppofe, from a very rich and orna- 
mental upper Garment termed Vaftos. As Taftc* 
pkorus was a Name given to Venus-, thefe Priefts 
may have belonged to her, or elfe to the Goddefs 
IJis, whofe chief Priefts, as Lucius Apuleiiis informs 
us, were called Paftophori , by way of Pre-eminence s 
Units catu Pajlophororum, quod facrofdnffiiCol- 
legii nomen eft , <velut in concionem vocato , indidem 
de fublimo fuggejiu renunciat , &c. (a) He fays 
alfo, that the God OJiris had a College of them. His 
Words are, OJiris in Collegium me Pajtophoro- 
rum fuorum , imo inter ipfos DecurionUm pfuinqiien- 
nates elegit. This Body of Priefts had various Of- 
fices, one whereof might probably be the conferring 
Honours on Perfons of great Merit, as we find from 
our Infcription thefe of Indujlr'm had done on Lu* 
cuts Vompeius .
