Crooke, 295, 297. This belief, Mr. Crooke points out, is among the difficulties constantly recurring at the census. Eusebius tells a curious tale of a victim thrown into a certain spring at Cæsarea Philippi, on the occasion of a festival, and disappearing by the power of the demon, until one day Astyrius, a Roman senator who had been converted to Christianity, was present at the rite and put an end to the pagan miracle by his prayers. But it does not appear that the victim was human. Eusebius, vii. 17.
