Hieroglyphics of Horapollo: Book II.: CXI. How a Man That Has Commerce With Persons of Another Tribe
Hieroglyphics of Horapollo, tr. Alexander Turner Cory, [1840]
When they would symbolise a man that has commerce with persons of another tribe,
they depict the LAMPREY; because it ascends out of the sea, and has commerce with the vipers, and straightway returns to the sea.
