3. [325] See Bayle, Art. _Apollonius_; and Cudworth, Intell. Syst. iv. 14. [326] Philostr. viii. 19, 20. [327] See Eusebius, Vopiscus, Lampridius, etc., as quoted by Bayle. [328] See Brucker on this point, vol. ii. p. 141, who refers to various authors. Eusebius takes a more sober view of the question, allowing the substance of the history, but disputing the extraordinary parts. See in Hierocl. 5 and 12. [329] Most of them are imitations of the miracles attributed to Pythagoras. [330] See Philostr. i. 4, 5, viii. 30, 31. He insinuates (Cf. viii. 29 with 31), that Apollonius was taken up alive. See Euseb. 8. [331] Philostr. iv. 3, 16, 20, 25, 44, v. 42, vi. 43, vii. 38. [332] Ibid. i. 12, iv. 24, 43, 11-13, 18, 30, vi. 3, 32. [333] Ibid. iv. 10. [334] Vit. iv. 45; Cf. Mark v. 29, etc.; Luke vii. 16; also John xi. 41-43; Acts iii. 4-6. In the sequel, the parents offer him money, which he gives as a portion to the damsel. See 2 Kings v. 15, 16 [4 Kings], and other passages in Scripture. [335] Lib. 67. [336] Hist. 67. [337] Vit. viii. 26. [338] Philostr. v. 12; in i. 2, he associates Democritus, a natural philosopher, with Pythagoras and Empedocies. See viii. 7, Sec. 8, and Brucker, vol. i. p. 1108, etc., and p. 1184. [339] In his apology before Domitian, he expressly attributes his removal of the Ephesian pestilence to Hercules, and makes this ascription the test of a divine philosopher as distinguished from a magician, viii. 7, Sec. 9, _ubi vid._ Olear. [340] Vid. viii, 7, Sec. 9. See also ii. 37, vi. 11, viii. 5. [341] Philostr. i. 2, and Olear. _ad loc._ note 3, iv. 44, v. 12, vii. 39, viii. 7; Apollon. Epist. 8 and 52; Philostr. Prooem. vit. Sophist.; Euseb. in Hier. 2; Mosheim, de Simone Mago, Sec. 13. Yet it must be confessed that the views both of the Pythagoreans and Eclectics were very inconsistent on this subject. Eusebius notices several instances of [Greek: goeteia] in Apollonius's miracles; in Hierocl. 10, 28, 29, and 31. See Brucker, vol. ii. p. 447. At Eleusis, and the Cave of Triphonius, Apollonius was, as we have seen, accounted a magician, and so also by Euphrates, Moeragenes, Apuleius, etc. See Olear. Praef. ad vit. p. 33; and Brucker, vol. ii. p. 136, note _k_. [342] See Mosheim, Dissertat. de turbata Ecclesia, etc., Sec. 27. [343] See Quaest. ad Orthodox 24 as quoted by Olearius, in his Preface, p. 34. [344] Eusebius calls it [Greek: theia tis kai arretos s
