on of Babylonia and Assyria_, p. 660; Hos. iv, 14; Deut. xxiii, 17 f. (prohibition); Gen. xxxviii, 14 ff. [1934] Erman, _Handbook of Egyptian Religion_, pp. 72, 221, is disposed to reject the statement of Strabo (xvii, i, 46) that there was libertinage at Thebes. Cf. Wilkinson, _The Ancient Egyptians_, Index, s.v. _Priestesses_. [1935] C. H. W. Johns, article "Code of Hammurabi" in Hastings, _Dictionary of the Bible_, extra volume; D. G. Lyon, "The Consecrated Women of the Hammurabi Code" in _Studies in the History of Religions presented to C. H. Toy_. [1936] Strabo, p. 378. [1937] Roscher, _Lexikon_, article "Aphrodite," col. 401. Cf. the practice mentioned in 1 Sam. ii, 22. [1938] Curtiss, _Primitive Semitic Religion To-day_. [1939] See, for example, 1 Sam. ii, 22. [1940] For a description of their privileges and power in Ashanti see Ellis, _Tshi_, p. 121 ff. [1941] License in festivals and mystical or symbolic marriages are excluded as not being official consecration of a class of persons. [1942] Examples are given in Westermarck, _Origin and Development of the Moral Ideas_, ii, 443 ff.; Frazer, _Adonis Attis Osiris_, chap. iv; Seligmann, _Der boese Blick und Verwandies_, ii, 190 ff.; and see above, Sec. 384 ff. [1943] Inscription of Tralles; see Ramsay, _Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia_, i, 94 ff.; Farnell, _Cults of the Greek States_, ii, 636. [1944] Herodotus, i, 199. The correctness of Herodotus's statement has been doubted; but, though the procedure is singular, it is not wholly out of keeping with known Babylonian customs. It must be remembered, however, that Herodotus wrote long after the fall of the Babylonian empire, when foreign influence was possible. See also _Epistle of Jeremias_, v, 43. [1945] Pseudo-Lucian, _De Syria Dea_, chap. vi. [1946] Homosexual practices do not belong here (Westermarck, op. cit., chap. xliii). The intercourse of priests with sacred and other women is likewise excluded. [1947] Deut. xxiii, 18 [17] f., "sodomite." [1948] 1 Kings, xiv, 24 (tenth century), where the _kedeshim_ seem to be described as a Canaanite institution. Cf. Deut. xxii, 3. [1949] _Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum_, part i, i, 86, B 10. [1950] With allusion, perhaps, to the dog's faithfulness to his master. In the _Amarna Letters_ a Canaanite governor calls himself the "dog"
