The tablets make frequent allusion to these seven spirits. One starts thus: 1. These seven evil spirits he shall root out and shall expel them from his body, 3. and these seven shall never return to the sick man again. Altogether similar are the exorcisms intended to ward off disease. Professor Sayce has published translations of some of these.
Sumer and Akkad, pp. 322 ff.; and for a full discussion of the points of resemblance between the early Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations, see Sayce, The Archaeology of the Cuneiform Inscriptions, chap. iv, pp. 101 ff. The latter line of contact is suggested by an interesting piece of evidence that has recently been obtained.
Here, then, are proofs enough that rue was magical outside of Cappadocia. But this is not an argument on Mr. Brown's lines. The Cappadocians called rue 'moly'; what language, he asks, was spoken by the Cappadocians? Prof. Sayce is, the Hittites, if we may say so respectfully, are not very far off.
"That's a pity," said the doctor, "because they do the best work not only in this field, but in most others. And they do so much that the mass defies translation. Well, the best thing outside of German of course is Sayce. I daresay you know him, though." The Rev. Mr. Ware shook his head mournfully. "I don't seem to know any one," he murmured. The others exchanged glances. "But if I may ask, Mr.
Thus a tablet translated by Professor Sayce gives a long list of omens furnished by dogs, in which we are assured that: 1. If a yellow dog enters into the palace, exit from that palace will be baleful. 2. If a dog to the palace goes, and on a throne lies down, that palace is burned. 3. If a black dog into a temple enters, the foundation of that temple is not stable. 4.
At Oxford, Burton met Professor Sayce, and did more literary work "under great difficulties" at the Bodleian, though he escaped all the evil effects; but against its wretched accommodation for students and its antediluvian methods he never ceased to inveigh. Early in August he was at Ramsgate and had the amusement of mixing with a Bank Holiday crowd.
Cronus is the sun-god, piercing the dark cloud, which is just the reverse of Schwartz's idea. Prof. Sayce sees points in common between the legend of Moloch, or of Baal under the name of Moloch, and the myth of Cronus. But Moloch, he thinks, is not a god of Phoenician origin, but a deity borrowed from 'the primitive Accadian population of Babylonia. Mr.

Sayce maintained that all European philosophy since Aristotle has been dominated by the fact that the philosophers spoke Indo-European languages, and therefore supposed the world, like the sentences they were used to, necessarily divisible into subjects and predicates.
Sayce has already suggested that Borsippa may have originally stood on an inlet of the Persian Gulf. Nabu is inferior to Ea, and were it not for the priority of Marduk, he would have become in Babylonian theology, the son of Ea. Since this distinction is given to Marduk, no direct indication of an original relationship to Ea has survived.
