^[234.4] O. Weber, Dämonenbeschwörung, p. 29; his note on the passage “that the unclean beast is offered as a substitute for an unclean man” is not supported by any evidence.

^[235.1] Robertson Smith’s theory that the gift-sacrifice was a later degeneracy from the communion-type is unconvincing; vide specially an article by Ada Thomsen, “Der Trug von Prometheus,” Arch. Relig. Wissensch., 1909, p. 460.
