Goldziher, Ignác
Jewish mythology; Judaism -- History -- To 70 A.D.
Gesenius, _Thesaurus_, p. 1003. _a_; compare Orph. VIII. I. 13. In the
_Thesmophoriazusae_ v. 17, Aristophanes makes Euripides call the eye
‘the imitation of the disc of the sun;’ compare _Acharn_. v. 1184: ὦ
κλεινὸν ὄμμα, ‘O glorious eye!’ as an address to the Sun.

The seven days of the week are imagined to have a connexion with the
sun. According to Diodorus, I. 272, the inhabitants of Rhodes at the
time of Cadmus worshipped the Sun-god, who had begotten seven sons on
that island.

Wa-kân auwal mâ asbal al-leyl riwâḳah wa-ḳad iswadd al-ẓalâm
biaġ-sâḳah, _Romance of ʿAntar_, V. 170. 17. Accordingly, insadal is
said of night as well as of a tent, e.g. _ʿAntar_, VI. 60. 14, 95. 5.
Footnote 312:
I wish to mention here a suggestion received in a letter from Prof. de
Goeje of Leyden, to take the name Hebhel in the appellative sense
‘herdsman,’ and compare it with the Arabic abil, the initial breathing
being aspirated. The Hebrew âbhêl, ‘pasture,’ would then belong to the
same group. But see also on the latter word an ingenious conjecture of
Derenbourg in the _Journal Asiatique_, 1867, vol. I. p. 93.

Footnote 320:
We do not wish to overlook the fact that the word Ḳayn in Himyaritic
is a name of dignity, like Prince, Ruler, Lord, and may therefore, if
this signification is adopted, be a synonym for Baʿal. See Prætorius
in the _Zeitschr. der D. M. G._, 1872, XXVI. 432.
