Sed Spectri genus esse, Vett. summo consensu docent, etsi de specie non constet: multa de co miraqueve fabulantibus Iudaeis, E quibus Elias in Thisbi, unam esse ait. ex 4. matribus Daemonum, quam, ut spectrum muliebre noctu apparens, puerisqueve maximie infestum, describit. itaque, ne quid attentet in infantes nuper editos, in puerperae cubiculo, hodieque carmen scribunt ἀποτρόπαιον Iudaei, quale habetur in Festo.

Nomen certe a Gap desc: Hebrew, i. e. nocte deductum, quâ potissimum ralibus Spectris locus est; adeoqueve species omnino muliebris spectri voce hac denotari videtur. Sed et Lilith, larvis potuit Furiisqueve accenseri, in impiae cuiusdam Lilith odium. Reginae Gap desc: Hebrew Zmargad. loci in Sabaeis ita dicti, ut videtur, a smaragdorum copia, quam cum valido exercitu in Hiobi greges et servos irruisse, tradit Chaldaeus Interpres, Hiob. c. 1. v. 16.
