8 The word is _demon_ or _demons_ in all the instances referred to.

9 Necromancy is derived from the Greek words _nekros_, dead, and

_mantis_, a diviner. The Greek, _Necromantia_, is defined: “The

revealing future events by communication with the dead; necromancy.”

And Nekromantis: “One who reveals future events by communication

with the dead; a necromancer.”

10 This is in the Syriac, “Until the fulness of the time of all

things.” Irenæus says, “Till the time of the exhibition or disposal

of all things;” and Œcumenius, “Till the time of all things does

come to an end;” and we have the suffrage of Thesychius and

Phavorinus, that “ἀποκατάστασις is τελειωσις, ‘the consummation’ of

a thing.”—_Whitby._
