does not believe that the
account in Herodotus implies that Pythagoras visited Egypt.]

[Footnote 1113: Whatever may have been the true character and history
of the enigmatic people of Mitanni it appears certain that they adored
deities with Indian names about 1400 B.C. But they may have been
Iranians, and it may be doubted if the Aryan Indians of this date
believed in metempsychosis.]

[Footnote 1114: J.E. Harrison, _l.c._ pp. 459 and 564, seems to think
that Orphism migrated from Crete to Thrace.]

[Footnote 1115: The question of the Disciples in John ix. 2. Who did
sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? must if taken
strictly imply some form of pre-existence. But it is a popular
question, not a theological statement, and I doubt if severely logical
deductions from it are warranted.]

[Footnote 1116: The pre-existence of the soul seems to be implied in
the Book of Wisdom viii. 20. The remarkable expression in the Epistle
of James iii. 6 [Greek: trochos tes geneseos] suggests a comparison
with the Orphic expressions quoted above and Samsara, but it is
difficult to believe it can mean more than "the course of nature."]

[Footnote 1117: As in their legends, so in their doctrines, the
uncanonical writings are more oriental than the canonical and contain
more pantheistic and ascetic sayings. _E.g._ "Where there is one
alone, I am with him. Raise the stone and thou shalt find me: cleave
the wood and I am there" (_Oxyrhynchus Logia_). "I am thou and thou
art I and wheresoever thou art I am also: and in all things I am
distributed and wheresoever thou wilt thou gatherest me and in
gathering me thou gatherest thyself" (Gospel of Eve in Epiph. _Haer_.
xxvi. 3). "When the Lord was asked, when should his kingdom come, he
said: When two shall be one and the without as the within and the male
with the female, neither male nor female" (_Logia_).]
