Leben nach dem Tode_.
[192.6] _Keilinschr. Bibl._, iii. 2, p. 11.
[193.1] In Aesch. _Agam._, l. 70, the words οὔτε δακρύων are spurious,
as I have argued in _Class. Review_, 1897, p. 293.
[193.2] We might perhaps infer their recognition from the occasional
use of the word δεισιδαίμων in a partly good sense, _e.g._ Aristot.
_Pol._, 5, 11, 25; Xen. _Ages._, 11, 8; but its bad sense is more
emphasised by Theophrastos in his “Characters.”
[193.3] Nebukadnezar (of all people) calls himself more than once “the
humble, the submissive,” _e.g._ _Keilinschr. Bibl._, iii. p. 63.
[193.4] We find the phrase δοῦλος ὑμέτερος also in the Greek magic
papyri, but these are charged with the Oriental spirit; Kenyon, _Greek
Pap._, i. p. 108, ll. 745-6.
[194.1] _C. I. Sem._, 1, No. 122.
[194.2] These facts are collected and exposed in a valuable article by
Perdrizet in _Archiv. für Relig. Wissensch._, 1911, pp. 54-129; cf.
_Revue des Études anciennes_, 1910, pp. 236-237; _Hell. Journ._, 1888,

[196.1] Dittenberg, _Orient. Graec. Inscr._, 619 (= Lebas-Waddington,
_Inscr._, iii. 2393); the reading here is Θεὸν Αὐμόν, probably a
mistake for Αὐμοῦ; cf. Lebas-Wadd., 2395 and 2455.

[196.4] _Cults_, vol. i., “Athena,” R. 96_b_ (Paus., 1, 42, 4); as
regards “Apollo Sarpedonios” we are uncertain whether the title was
not merely local-geographical.
[197.1] Langdon, _op. cit._, pp. 309, 321; cf. the lines in the hymn,
p. 335: “I am the child who upon the flood was cast out--Damu, who on
the flood was cast out, the anointed one who on the flood was cast
out.”

[202.1] We note the indication of a cruel human
sacrifice--consecration of a child to a god or goddess by fire--as a
legal punishment for reopening adjudicated causes (Johns, _Babylonian
and Assyrian Laws_, etc., p. 95).
