ARIMA'NIUS, the evil god of the ancient Perlians. 
The Perfian Magi held two principles; a good daemon or 
god, and an evil one: the firit the author of all good, and 
the other of all evil: the former they fuppofed to be re- 
prefented by light, and the latter by darknefs, as their 
trued fymbols. The good principle they named Yezad or 
Yezdan, and Ormozd or Ymmizda , which the Greeks wrote 
Oroma/dts -, and the evil daemon they called Abriman, ar.d 
the Greeks Arimanius. Some of the Magians held both 
thde principles to have been from all eternity; but this 
feet was reputed heterodox: the original dodtrine being, 
that the good principle only was eternal,, and the other 
created. Plutarch (De Ijide et Ofiride, p.369.) gives the 
following account of the Magian traditions in relation to 
thefe.gods, and the introduction of evil into the world, viz. 
The Oromnzes confided of more pure light, and Arima¬ 
nius of darknefs ; and that they were at war with each 
other : that Oromazes created fix gods ; the firfi, the au¬ 
thor of benevolence ; the fecond, of truth ; the third, of 
iuftice, riches, and the pleafure which attends good ac¬ 
tions; and that Arimanius made as many, who-were the 
authors of the oppofite evils or vices: that then Oroma¬ 
zes, triplicating himfelf, removed as far from the fun as 
the fun is from the earth, and adorned the heaven with 
ftars, appointing the dog-ftar for their guardian and leader: 
that he alfo created twenty-four other gods, and inclofed 
them in an etrg ; but, Arimanius having alfo made an equal 
number, thefe lad perforated the egg, by which means 
evil and good became mixed together. However, the fa¬ 
tal time will come, when Arimanius, the introducer of 
plagues and famine, mud be of necedity utterly dedroyed 
by the former, and annihilated ; thpn, the earth being made 
plain and even, mankind dial! live in a happy date, in the 
fame manner, in the fame political fociety, and udng one 
and the fame language, Theopompus writes, that, ac¬ 
cording to the Magians, the laid two gods, during the 
fpace of 3000 years, alternately conquer, and are conquer¬ 
ed ; that, for other 3000 years, they will wage mutual war, 
■fight, and dedroy the works of each other, till at lad Hades 
(or the evil fpirit) fhall pe’rifh, and men become perfectly 
happy, their bodies needing no food, nor cafting any dia- 
cl&w, i.e. being perfectly tranfparent.

A'RIMATHE'A, a town of Judea, thought fo'bcfihs- 
fame with Ramatha, 1 Sam. i. This place is now called 
Ramla, and is in a very ruinous date. The aga of Gaza 
refides and governs here. He maintains about one hun¬ 
dred horfemen, and as many Barbary foldiers, who (fays 
Mr. Voiney) are lodged in an old Chriftian church, the 
nave of which is ufed as a dable, and in an ancient khan, 
which is difputed with them by the fcorpions. The ad¬ 
jacent country-is planted with lofty olive trees, difpofed in 
quincunxes ; but they are daily perifhing through the ra¬ 
vages of contending fadtions, and even from fecret mif- 
chief; for, in thefe countries, when a peafant would re¬ 
venge himfelf of his enemy, he comes by night, and faws.. 
or cuts his trees chafe to the ground, and the wound, 
which he takes care to cover, draining off the fap like au 
idlte, the olive tree ianguifhes and dies. Amid thefe plan¬ 
tations, we meet, at every ftep, with dry wells, ciderns 
fallen in, and vad vaulted reiervoirs, which prove-that, 
in ancient times, this town mud have been upwards of a 
league and a half in circumference. The only remarkable 
antiquity at Ramla is the minoret of a ruined mofque, on 
the road to Yafa, which is very lofty ; and by an Arabic in- 
feription appears to have been built by the fultan Saladin,

A'RION, an excellent mudeian and poet,, inventor of 
dithyrambics. Periander entertained him at his court, 
where getting an edate, and returning to Corinth, the

when, according to the poets, a dolphin, charmed with his 
mude, took him on her back and carried him fafe to diore. 
Arion, f. an admirable horfe, much move famous.In 
poetic hiftory than Bucephalus in that of Alexander. Au¬ 
thors fpeak varioufly of his origin, though they agree in 
giving him a divine one. His production is mod com¬ 
monly aicribed to Neptune. This god, according to fome,. 
raided him out of the ground by the droke of his trident: 
according to others, he begot him upon the body of the 
fury Erynnys; according to others, upon that of Ceres,, 
whom he ravifiied in the form of a horfe,. die having pre- 
vioudy aiTumed the form of a mare to eiude his purfuit. 
This horfe was nurfed by the Nereids; and, being fome- 
times yoked with the fea-horfes of Neptune to the chariot 
of this god, he drew him with incredible fwiftnefs through 
the fea. He had this dngularity in him, that his right 
feet refembled thofe of a man. Neptune gave him to 
Capreus king of Haliartus. Capreus made a.prefent of 
him to Hercules; who mounted him when he took the 
city of Elis, gained the prize with him in the race againd 
Gygnus the fon of Mars near Traecena, and at lad made a- 
prefent of him to Adradus. It is under this lad matter 
that A.rion has fignalized himfelf the mod: he won the 
prize for racing at the Nemaean games, which the princes 
who went to bedege Thebes inftituted in honour of Arche, 
morus; and was the caufe that Adradus did not peiifh ia 
this famous expedition, as.all the other chiefs did.
