"Elias, do you know who her parents were?" asked Graydon quickly. "I've thought you knew as much about it as father." The old man's eyes shifted. "It's a silly question to ask of me. I was not a member of the Four Hundred, my boy." "Nor was my father. Yet you think he knows." "He's a much smarter man than I, Graydon. You'll go with me to see him?" "Yes.

The rabbi Elias was deputed to wait on the Prince, expressing the unanimous determination of all the Jews to quit the country rather than submit to further burdens: "Their trade was ruined by the Caorsini, the Pope's merchants the Jew dared not call them usurers who heaped up masses of gold by their money-lending; they could scarcely live on the miserable gains they now obtained; if their eyes were torn out and their bodies flayed, they could not give more."
He says that Brother Elias, who was universally admitted to be a learned man, was not ignorant that the decrees of God which are absolute, are immutable, because He Himself is incapable of change; but he also knew that the Lord sometimes expressed Himself in absolute words against sinners, which decrees are merely threats, which may be changed by their repentance, without His changing, according to what He has said by the Prophet Jeremy: "I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.
Elias Yacobe, a native of Rashaiah, spent the summer at Abeih in the study of theology, and was found to possess uncommon preaching talents. He subsequently labored with success at his native place, at Ibel, and especially at Khuraibeh.

We reckoned that the amount which we had stored at the time represented the greatest sum which had ever been taken by a single convoy out of Jackman's Gulch. Although Elias B.

Then was there laughing of the Sessoins' party, and great dole on King Mark's party.
"Yes, very distantly related." "Well, I'm glad I've had some relations, even if I didn't know it." "Now, we will come to the business, Miss Doane. Our client, the late Elias Doane, was a very wealthy man, very wealthy indeed. His estate amounts to many millions, and he has left a very curious will." The lawyer opened a paper in his hand and commenced to read, but Mr. Gale interrupted.
