I should have noted the instances of the word from Junius and Schilter, which were not unknown to me, but for brevity’s sake; and indeed I had not Urry’s Chaucer at hand to verify the reference of Junius to the Tale of Beryn, the only valuable portion of Urry’s book.  I knew that a simple reference to the O.H.G.  Lari would be sufficient for Dr. Grimm.

Thorkelin, in his very incorrect edition of Beowulf, has followed Lye, in rendering Lind haebbende, Vexilla habens; and Haldorsen’s explanation of Lind might have taught him better.  Mr. Kemble has rendered it shield-bearers, and gives instances in his Glossary of similar combinations, as rond-haebbendra, bord-haebbende, scaro-haebbendra.

Zenobia a Jewess? (No. 24. p. 383.)—­

“To conclude what I have to say of this princess, I shall add here, after M. de Tillemont, that St. Athanasius took her to be a Jewess, meaning, without doubt, in respect of her religion; and that, according to Theodoret, it was to please her that Paul of Samosata, whom she patronised, professed opinions very like those of the Jews concerning the person of Jesus Christ, saying that he was only a mere man, who had nothing in his nature superior to other men, nor was distinguished from them any otherwise than by a more abundant participation of the divine grace.”—­Crevier, Hist. of Rom.  Emperors, Book 27.  “Aurelian,” vol. ix. p. 174.

M. Crevier refers to “Tillem.  Aur. art. 5.”

W.H.

Temple Stanyan wrote a History of Greece, 1751, which was common when I was at school, and another book, as Watts says.  If the question is biographical, I can say nothing.
