Chapter 90: Carmendas, Damigeron, &c. Carmendas is unknown
Text size
_Damigeron_ is mentioned elsewhere as a magician (Tertull. de Anima, 57), but nothing is known of him. _Moses_ appears as a magician in the magical papyri (Griffiths Thompson pap. col. v, p. 47 (13)). The miracles wrought by Moses in Egypt sufficiently account for this. _Jannes_, one of the Egyptian magicians worsted by Moses. Cp. Epistle to Timothy ii. 3. 8. _Apollobex_, a magician named _Apollobeches_ is mentioned by Pliny, N.H. xxx. 9, as also is _Dardanus_. For _Ostanes_ and _Zoroaster_ see chaps. 25 and 27, notes.
