[1181] The "demons" of 1 Cor. x, 20 (King James version, "devils") are foreign deities.

[1185] So the Christian Satan.
[1186] When, in the reports of travelers and other observers, demons are said to be placated, examination shows that these beings are G.o.ds who happen to be mischievous. Of this character, for example, appear to be the "demons"
mentioned in Hastings, _Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics_, ii, 122.

[1191] On the Hebrew place-name (Job i, 1) and perhaps personal name (Gen. x.x.xvi, 28) U? (Uz), which seems to be formally identical with "Au?, see W. R. Smith, _Kinship and Marriage in Early Arabia_, 1st ed., p. 260 f., and his _Religion of the Semites_, p. 43; Wellhausen, _Skissen_, iii; Noldeke, in _Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenlandischen Gesellschaft_, xl, 183 f.

[1195] As far as the forms are concerned, a concrete sense for _manat_, _manu_, _meni_, seems possible; cf. Wright, _Arabic Grammar_, 2d ed., i, -- 231; Barth, _Semitische Nominalbudungen_, p. 163 ff.; Delitzsch, _a.s.syrian Grammar_, p. 158 ff.
[1196] The etymologies in Gen. x.x.x, 11 ff. are popular. In "Baal-Gad" (Josh. xi, 17) _Gad_ may be the name of a place; cf. Stade, _Geschichte des Volkes Israel_, i, 271, note.

[1206] On these and certain minor divinized conceptions of time see Spiegel, op. cit., ii, 4-17. On the Hindu personification of time see Bloomfield, _Religion of the Veda_, p. 244 ff. In these and similar cases time, containing all things, is conceived of as the producer of all things, and the line between personification and hypostatization is not always clearly defined. For the influence of astrology on the deification of time, see c.u.mont, _Les religions orientates parmi les peuples romains_, chap. vii (on astrology and magic), p. 212 f., paragraph on new deities, and notes thereto. Hubert, "La representation du temps dans la religion et la magie" (in _Melanges de l"histoire des religions_), p. 190, distinguishes between the notation of favorable and unfavorable times (and the nonchronological character of mythical histories) and the calendar, which counts moments continuously.

[1212] Cf. Bloomfield"s cla.s.sification of deities (_Religion of the Veda_, p. 96) partly according to the degree of clearness with which characters belonging to physical nature appear: "translucent" G.o.ds are those whose origin in nature is obvious; "transparent" G.o.ds are half-personified nature objects.
