Bryant's commentary on the word OPH, we obtain a very probable etymology of the term; 'a serpent, in the Egyptian language, was called Aub or Ob." Their etymology, if admitted, connects the modern superstitions of the west of Africa, with the ancient ones of the east of that continent, from which source they have also been spread in Europe.
