“ 192 A. D .” ( . . . . Clint.), exhibition in Rome of the marvels of different countries, including
animals previously unknown from India, Ethiopia, the South, and the extreme North, witnessed by
the historian Herodian. The rhetor Adrianus of Tyre appointed in this year secretary to Cora-
modus.
Cucumis utilissiinus of Tropical Flindustan and Burmah. The w inter melon is called in the
Taleef Shereef “ kukrie,” in Hindustanee “ kukree” or “ kakrie” (J. F. Wats.), in Telinga “ doskai,”
in Bengalee “ kankoor kurktee ” (Drur.), in th e environs of Bombay “ kunkarai ” or “ kakri ” (Graham),
by Muslims “ k issa” and regarded by Royle as possibly the “ kshaym ” of Num. xi. 5 (Kilt,
bibl. cycl.) : the T 6 T P ÀrK0 VPAo f Herodian epim. 124, — or “ tëtraggôurôn ” of Suidas, Constantinus
Porphyrogenitus, Moscopulus, and the Greek translation of Rhazes, may be compared: the
“ tëtraggôura” or “ laggoura ” is described by Symeon Sethus as a large edible kind (Turn.) ; the
“ cucumis turcicus ” is described by Fuchsius pl. 698 ; the “ himônikô ” was seen by Forskal “ in gardens
at Constantinople ; ” and fruit of the winter melon, by myself on Malta, regarded there as a
variety only of C. melo. Eastward, the “ ervaru ” of Susrutas sutr. 46 to chik. 18 is referred by Hessler
lo C. utilissimus, observed by Graham extensively cultivated in the environs of Bombay ; by Roxburgh,
and Wight, under cultivation as far as Bengal and by far the most useful species, its fruit
having “ much the flavour of the melon, and will keep for several months,” the seeds are ground into
a meal eaten by the natives, yield besides a bland oil used in food and in lamps, and in the Guntoor
Circar form a considerable branch of commerce (Drur.) ; was observed by Mason indigenous in Burmah,
and one of the cucumbers “ consumed in immense quantities ” by the natives.
“ D ec. 3 1 st” (D io, and Clint.), Commodus succeeded by Pertinax, eighteenth Roman emperor.
The name of Pertinax occurs on coins issued in Egypt during his three months’ reign.
“ 193, March 28th ” (Dio, and Clint.), Didius Julianus by purchase, now nineteenth Roman
emperor. His name has not been found in Egypt.
The historian Dion Cassius one of the Roman senators who voted the death of Didius Julianus.
“ June 1st” (D io, Herodian, and C lint), accession of Septimius Severus, twentieth Roman
emperor. His hieroglyphic ovals occur at Esneh (Glid. analect.).
“ 194 A. D .” (D io, and Clint.), civil war ; Byzantium besieged by Severus ; Aemilianus defeated
and slain ; and shortly afterwards, Pescennius Niger himself defeated at Issus, and put to death at
Antioch. The hieroglyphic ovals, once supposed to be those of Pescennius Niger, are referred by
Lepsius k. pl. 67 to an “ undetermined Caesar.”
The archæologist Athenaeus at this time writing. Also Clemens of Alexandria, a Christian
presbyter (C lin t).
Clemens of Alexandria mentions a pyramid in India erected over relics of a god (Budha), and
worshipped by “ sëmnôi ” venerable persons — (arhats according to Burnouf introd. 295. Compare
“ samanaioi ”).
“ 19s, summer” (D io, Eutrop., and Clint.), crossing the Euphrates, Severus carried on war and
partially subdued the Parthians and Arabs.
“ 196, A. D .” (Dio, and Clint.), after three years siege, Byzantium captured : and Severus, at
the time in Mesopotamia, returned to Rome.
“ 197, Feb. 19th” (Spartian., and C lint), another aspirant Clodius Albinus defeated and slain
near Lugdunum (Lyons), and the civil war brought to a close. Soon afterwards, Severus again proceeded
into Asia.
“ The same year” (E useb., Flieronym., and Clint.), the question in regard to Easter. And the
churches of Asia, persisting in celebrating the day after the Jewish Passover, “ as taught by the
apostles and their immediate successors,” put out of communion by Victor bishop of Rome. To this
measure, the other churches refused their assent; as appears by letters from Narcissus “ thirtieth”
bishop of Jerusalem, Polycrates bishop of Ephesus, Irenaeus bishop of Lugdunum, Bacchylus bishop
of Corinth, Palmas bishop of Pontus, Theophilus bishop of Cæsarea, Cassius bishop of Tyre, and
Clarus bishop of Ptolemais : — the original mode of observing Easter continued among the so-called
“ Quartadecimans ” until the meeting of the Council of Nice.
This interference by Victor is regarded as the beginning of Catholicism, of deciding theological
him is not an Indigofera (A. Dec.). Indigo is one of'the pigments employed in ancient Mexican
paintings (Humb. nouv. Esp. iv. 10); is enumerated by F. Columbus among the productions of Aiti
or Hayti (Humb.) ; was found by J. Acosta 175 largely exported from Mexico; and farther South,
among specimens of ancient Peruvian cloth exhumed at Pachacamac, I remarked some that appeared
to be dyed with indigo. Indigofera sp., found by Sloane ii. pl. 176 growing spontaneously in the
West Indies, is regarded as an ancient plant by Hughes 203, and Maycock 304 ; and two or even
three apparently indigenous species are according to A. Decandolle cultivated in America.
