[359] Pan, in Greek πᾶν, signifies the All, and Phanes is derived from the Phœnician word אנש (_ânesh_), man, preceded by the emphatic article פ (_ph_). It must be observed that these two names spring from the same root אן (_ân_), which, figuratively, expresses the sphere of activity, and literally, the limitation of the being, its body, its capacity. Hence אני (_âni_), me, and אניו (_aniha_), a vessel.
