Note 1024 — Chapter XIII · MANES AND THE MANICHAEANS
Reading edition
Many guesses have been made as to the allusions concealed under these names, as to which see Rochat, op. cit. pp. 64-73. Neander (Ch. Hist. II. p. 16) quotes from Ritter the suggestion that Terebinthus may come from an epithet of Buddha, Tere-hintu “Lord of the Hindus.” One wonders whether it might not have been as fitly given to a Jewish slave sold at the Fair of the Terebinth with which Hadrian closed his war of extermination.
