Chapter 823: 6. _Thine associate god_, or _one of those about thee_,

⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. See Note 2 on Chapter 18. M. Chabas in his commentary upon the fine hymn translated by him in the _Rev. Arch._, 1857, considers it “une circonstance bizarre” that Osiris is several times included among his ‘_Djadjou_.’ The _bizarrerie_ is easily explained by parallel expressions known to every Greek scholar, οἱ ἀμφὶ Πεισίστρατον in Herodotus means _Pisistratus with his troops_, and in Thucydides, οἱ περι Θρασυβουλον means _Thrasybulus with his soldiers_. In the Iliad (3, 146) οἱ ἀμφὶ Πρίαμον is explained by the Scholiast as meaning _Priam himself_: τοῦτ ἐστιν, ὁ Πρίαμος.
