Two dissertations : I. Containing an enquiry into the meaning of the word Kesitah, mentioned in Job, chap.42. vers.11. In which is endeavoured to be proved, that though it most probably there stands for the Name of a Coin, yet that there is no reason for supposing it stamped with any Figure at all, and therefore, not with that of a Lamb in particular. II. On the signification of the word Hermes. To which is explained the Origin of the Custom among the Greeks, of erecting Stones called Hepmai; together with some other Particulars, relating to the Mythology of that People.
