Here the latter is called "Sa'alab" which may, I have noted, mean the jackal; but further on "Father of a Fortlet" refers especially to the fox. Canon Rawlinson, in his unhappy version, does not perceive that the Halicarnassian means the jackal and blunders about the hyena. The root is evidently "layl"=nox, with, probably, the idea, "She walks in beauty like the night." "Bazi," Pers.
Those were the days, perhaps, when Nox reigned, and the great mundane egg was hatching in the oven-like heat, from which the winged boy Eros leaped forth, "his back glittering with golden plumes, and swift as eddying air."
'Rise, servant of Nox and Erebus! said Arbaces, commandingly; 'a superior in thine art salutes thee! rise, and welcome him.

He is represented as an old man with a hideous face and long white beard and piercing eyes."
I knotted the money in the handkerchief, and gave it to Hop Sing. "For the baby, from its godfathers." "But what name?" said the judge. There was a running fire of "Erebus," "Nox," "Plutus," "Terra Cotta," "Antaeus," &c. Finally the question was referred to our host. "Why not keep his own name?" he said quietly, "Wan Lee."

What boat is this, anyhow?" "The Nancy Nox, of Erebus." "Thunder!" cried Charon, as he pushed off and proceeded on his way up the river. "Named after my mother! Perhaps it'll come out all right yet."
Yet it is harder than common, Horace, for us to think of you, still glad somewhere, among rivers like Liris and plains and vine-clad hills, that Solemque suum, sua sidera borunt.
