We mention’d before that _Phut_ married _Rhode_, whence the isle of _Rhodes_ had its name. _Rod_ in the _Psalms_ and the _Prophets_ signifies a snake. Nay _Pliny_ in vii. and 56, of his natural history asserts, that _Rhodes_ was originally call’d _Ophiusa_, a word equivalent. Most likely they built a serpentine temple there, which gave the name. So the isle of _Tenos_, which _Bochart_ shews, means a serpent in the oriental language, was call’d _Hydrusa_ and _Ophiusa_. The isle of _Cyprus_ was call’d _Ophiodia_ by _Nicœnetus_. So _Hydra_ an isle just before _Carthage_, which was first built by _Cadmus_. _Ophiades insulæ_ on the _Arabian_ coast of the _Red-sea_. _Pausanias_ mentions a place called _Opheos Cephale_, the serpent’s head; the same as our _Hakpen_ on _Overton-hill_ in _Abury_. In the isle of _Chios_ is a famous mountain higher than the rest, called _Pelineus_, which had undoubtedly one of our great _Dracontian_ temples. The learned _Bochart_ I. 9. shews its name signifies the prodigious serpent: a story of the sort is annex’d to it. Nay this famous temple gave name to the whole island, for he shews that ’tis a _Syrian_ word חויא _Chivia_ a serpent, so that _Chios_ isle is the serpent’s isle: the word is the same as _Hivite_: probably _Cadmus_ or some of his people built it. _Hesychius_ and _Phavorinus_ mentions _Jupiter Pelineus_, the name of the deity worshiped. _Virgil_ in _Æneid_ II. describes the two serpents that destroy’d _Laocoon_ coming from the isle of _Tenedos_. I described the barrows about _Humbers_ castle, to be like beds. They are all long barrows, of very different lengths, higher at the head than the feet, (if we may so express it) and with a cavity the whole length of them, drawn off at the feet, to the turf: So that they represent the impression of a person that has lain on a very soft, downy couch. One which I dug into near the temple was 60 cubits long: the other two near it 40 each, plate xxxix. The sight of them necessarily intruded into my mind, the ευνη or couch of _Typhon_ or _Phut_, which _Homer_ says, was in _Arimis_. ’Tis natural for us to imagine, he means exactly such a _tumulus_ of the hero, as these we are speaking of. _Phut_ was a great arch druid or patriarchal high-priest, as being the head of his family. And according to my notion of the matter, these long barrows all belong to some of the higher order of the Druids. _Eustathius_ interprets _Homer_’s word by that of ταφος, tomb. _Stephanus_ the scholiast on _Hesiod_’s _Theogon_, makes _Arima_ a mountain in _Cilicia_ or _Lydia_, where is _Tiphon_’s κοιτη. _V. Oppian. Alexand._ ver. 599. _Lucan_ ver. 191. _Apollon._ II. _Strabo_ XVI. _Mela_ I. 13. _Pausanias in Atticis_ tells us of _Hippolita_ the _Amazons’ tumulus_, that ’twas made in shape of an _Amazonian pelta_ or shield; perhaps somewhat like our _tumulus_.
