A curious coincidence in these fore to think that it is a corruption of mystical computations of particular the words continerc [in seipsis] }>er silen tium, : the reading indicated by Epiphawords may be mentioned ; although it can scarcely have been accidental.
Abraxas sums 365, the number of days in the solar year ; Meitfpas the Persian NIUS in the preceding note.
3 The subject of the numerous hea vens is resumed, from which the author deity sums the same number ; as does had insensibly digressed ; the idea was also NeiXos. The coincidence is the more borrowed from astrological science.
