[Footnote 4: "word" corected from "work"--Transcriber.]

I think MR. LITTLEDALE'S difficulty about the same Hebrew word's

representing both [Greek: Diabolos] and _Adversarius_ is, on the contrary,

rather a confirmation of the old derivation. Had he forgotten that "the

Adversary" is often technically used for the _Devil_? Surely there can be

no more doubt that _Devil_ comes from _Diavolo_, and that from [Greek:

Diabolos], than that _journal_ comes from _giorno_, and that from

_diurnus_.
