[320]. We do not wish to overlook the fact that the word Ḳayn in Himyaritic is a name of dignity, like Prince, Ruler, Lord, and may therefore, if this signification is adopted, be a synonym for Baʿal. See Prætorius in the Zeitschr. der D. M. G., 1872, XXVI. 432.

[322]. Yaçna, I. 35, XVII. 22; Khordavesta, III. 49, VII. 4; Spiegel, Die heiligen Schriften der Parsen, III. 27: ‘The beautiful Dawn we praise; the brilliant, endowed with brilliant horses, who remembers men, remembers heroes, and is provided with splendour, with dwellings. The morning Dawn we praise; the cheering, endowed with fast horses.’ Vendidad, XXI. 20: ‘Rise up, O splendid Sun! with thy fast horses, and shine on the creatures.’ In the Sun’s Yast (it is the sixth), in almost every verse from the invocation to the end of the prayer, this epithet is applied to the Sun; and in the tenth Yast chariots and flaming horses are assigned to Mithra (see the references in Spiegel, l. c. III. xxv.).
