The central syllable of zamanah is, therefore, twice represented in the Zvaris vidanéAnag. The hybrid occurs again, in Bk. IX, Chap. XVII, 3, in a phrase where it can only mean ‘time, period.’ If it were not for this after-occurrence, the word here might be read va-d6-ahfig, ‘and the dual existence,’ with some degree of probability.

About the vicious desire of the performer and permitter of unnatural intercourse; also their violent lustfulness, heinous practice, and corrupt, polluted bodies, blighted in destiny; great through their destruction of life in the things which they see, and every greatness inevitably provides them a merited death ; as great in sinfulness as 4z-t Dahak! in oppression, as the serpent Srébar? in witchcraft, as Tor-t Bradré-résh 8, the Karap ‘4, in destroying the 1 See Chap.

Some are named, such as Dfirsréb, Bradrék-résh, Vaédv6ist, and Géshmak. The Karap of the district where the mother of ZaratQst was born banishes her for witchcraft, and must, therefore, have been the official head of the district. Dfr4sréb, the Karap, travels sometimes with a disciple (h4vist), so his title was probably a priestly one. The Karap is also often mentioned with the Kai, or Kik (Av. kavan or kavi), the title of an equally obnoxious class; both Kfks and Karaps being termed ‘demon-worshippers,’ or idolators ; and the Pahlavi translators of the Avesta speak of them, metaphorically, as ‘ blind and deaf’ to the sacred beings. 1 These are called ‘five Fargards’ in Dd.
