ventriloquist. The use of the word [Greek: ekraze] in the next verse,
would lead us to infer that she spoke in a loud voice _with her mouth
open_; whereas the [Greek: eggastrimuthoi] are defined by Galen
(_Glossar. Hippocr._) as [Greek: oi kekleismenou tou stomatos
phthengomenoi].

Consult Vitringa and Rosenmüller on Isa. viii. 19., Wolf and Kuinoel on
Acts, xvi. 16., Biscoe on the Acts, ch. viii. §2; where references will
be found to many works which will satisfy Mr. SANSOM better than this
meagre note.

[Hebrew: B]

_Ventriloquism_ (Vol. ii., p. 88.).--In reply to Query 1, I wish to call
Mr. SANSOM'S attention to _Plutarch de Oraculorum defectu_ (Lipsiæ,
1777, vol. vii. p. 632.), and to Webster's _Displaying of supposed
Witchcraft_ (chaps. vi. and viii.). Queries 2 and 3. Besides the
extraordinary work of Webster, he may consult the elaborate
dissertations of Allatius on these subjects, in the eighth volume of
_Critici Sacri_. Query 4. On the use of the term [Greek: eggastrimuthos]
by the sacred writers, _Ravanelli Biblioth. S._, and by classical
authors, _Foesii Oeconomia Hippocratis_; and for synonymous "divinorum
ministrorum nomina," _Pollucis Onomasticon_.
