Bryant, in the Analysis of Ancient Mythology. " The ancient Cuthites, and the Persians after them, had a great veneration for fountains and 122 streams; which also prevailed among other nations^ so as to have been at one time almost universal. Of this regard among the Persians Herodotus takes notice : ^e^ovrai 7foToc^s$ *wv ifav- fwv paXitrTa : Of all things in nature they reve- rence rivers most. The natives of Egypt had the like veneration. Other nations, says Atha- nasius, reverenced rivers ...and fountains; but, above all the people in the world, the Egyptians held them in the highest honor, and esteemed them as divine. Julius Firmicus gives the same account of them : JEgyptii aqua benefici urn percipientes aquam colunty aquis supplicant. From hence the cus- tom passed westward to Greece, Italy, and the extremities of Europe. In proof of which, the following inscription is to be found in Gruter : VASCANI^E IN H1SPANIA FONTI DIVING.
How much it prevailed among the Romans we learn from Seneca : " Magnorumfluviorum capita veneramur coluntur aquarum calentiumfontes; et 123 qu&dam stagna, qua vel opacitas, vel immensa alti- tudo sacravit.
