Hieroglyphics of Horapollo: Book II.: XXV. How Death
Hieroglyphics of Horapollo, tr. Alexander Turner Cory, [1840]
A NIGHT RAVEN signifies death; 2 for it suddenly pounces
upon the young of the crows by night, as death suddenly overtakes men.
103:2 Qy. Erebus? The Hebrew word ערב, EREB, signifies either p. 104 Erebus darkness, or the Nightraven, and it appears by Damascius, that the Sidonians substituted this bird as an emblem of Erebus.—An. Frag. p. 319.
