XLIV. How They Intimate a Thing Unlawful, or an Abomination

XLIV. HOW THEY INTIMATE A THING UNLAWFUL, OK AN ABOMINATION.

1

To denote a thing unlawful, or an abomination, they delineate a FISH, because the feeding upon fish is considered in the sacred rites as abominable, and a pollution: for every fish is an animal that is a desolator [laxative as food?], and a devourer of its own species.

Footnotes
  1. 65:1

    Clemens states that the fish denotes hatred: and, according to Leemans, it is found in some inscriptions with that signfication.
