30, the writer see* in the impression of a seal published by Niebuhr a bulfs body and legs, which to those who employ such spectacles as do not distort objects, will appeal to be more like a lion, a bear, or an elephant, then a boll ; -yet in reality, not intended, to represent any one of them, but an imaginary animal with which the Persians were as well acquainted as European* with the fanciful representation of en unkorn. Cer- tainly Niebahr did not think it represented a bull, for he eaUs it... a fabuious ammal f as the view of it in his Dab. 90, proves it to be. His account of it is thus — " In the ruins of Persepotia, on two parallel walk, is seen on each in relief the fabulous animal B of my tab. 130, being 17 feet from head to tail— I obtained also an agate stone, the impression on which, represents, as there is no doubt, the* very same animal as the above-mentioned larger .one, only the work of the engraver of the stone is not so good as that of the sculptor." Tom. 2. p. 103.
