Chapter 186 Chapter Thirty-Seven

How Paiguguay summoned the two lieutenants "Sausage Swallow" and "Sausage Cutter" and talked about the meaning of names of people and places The outcome of the meeting is that everyone prepares for changes.Gabalin and Jimnast summoned the soldiers on the Golden Bowl (led by Vice Admiral Tun Sausage) and the Golden Barrel (led by Vice Admiral Xiao Sausage) to the main ship. Banuzhi said: "Let me do Jimnaster's errand. Besides, you also need him here." Brother John said, "I swear by the uniform I'm wearing, you bastard is trying to run away from the war, and on my honor, you won't come back! It's not a loss without you. You'll just cry , humming and chirping, it just made the soldiers lose their fighting spirit."

Panurge said: "Fré John, my priest, I will surely return, and soon. Just don't let those vicious sausage men climb on board. When you go to war, I will be here for your Pray to God victoriously, as Moses the valiant leader, the leader of the Israelites, did." Abesdemon said to Paguguai: "Just by the names of the two lieutenant generals Swallowing Sausage and Cutting Sausage, if the sausage men come to attack, it will be a guarantee that they will win smoothly." "You are right," said Paiguguet, "and I am very pleased that you can foresee and estimate our victory from the names of these two lieutenants. This method of predicting by names is not new since the present. The Pythagoreans in ancient times paid great attention to it, and did so piously. Many great men and emperors also benefited from it. Let's talk about Octavian Augustus first, he is The second emperor of the Roman Empire, one day he met a farmer named Ertigus, which means 'auspicious', and he was holding a donkey in his hand, named Nikon, which was explained in Greek, which means 'victory' , Augustus was shocked by the donkey driver and the meaning of the donkey's name, and established his own prosperity, prosperity and victory①.

And Vespasianus, also a Roman emperor, was praying alone one day in the temple of Serapis, when he suddenly saw a servant approaching him who had been ill for a long time and whom he did not expect to meet. He was called Basilides, which means 'prince', so he had the desire and determination to get the Roman Empire③.And Regilian, who was chosen king by the soldiers for no other reason than the meaning of his name.You go and read the sacred Plato's "Language" ⑥?" Risotamo said, "To be honest, I really want to read it. I hear you mention it a lot." "? You can see how the Pythagoreans used the deduction of names and numbers to calculate that Patroclus should be killed by Ekdor, and Ekdor should die in the hands of Achilles, Achilles died at the hands of Paris, and Paris at the hands of Philocthitis. When I thought of Pythagoras, the ninth and twelfth ship of the Magnificent fleet, See Chapter 1 of this part.

② Moses ordered Joshua to fight the Amalekites. He went up to the top of the mountain and raised his hands to the sky until day and night; see "Old Testament? Exodus" Chapter 17, Sections 8-11. ① Later, Augustus built a temple for them at the place where he met the donkey and the donkey driver; for the story, see Chapter 96, Section 5 of Suetonius' "Biography of St. Augustus". ② Serapis: Egyptian god in Roman times. ③ See Section 2 of Chapter VII of Suetonius' Biography of Vespasianus. ④ Regilian: A native of Daxian (Denmark) in the third century, who proclaimed himself the king of Mycia.

⑤ See Chapters Nine and Ten of Treberius Polio's "Biography of Thirty Kings". ⑥ "Language": One of Plato's "Dialogues", which discusses that names come from people or follow nature. ① Philocthitis: King Dessaria, who shot Paris to death with a medicine arrow during the Trojan War. He could not help but be amazed at this miraculous discovery. By using whether the syllables of a person's name were odd or even, he could figure out which side of the person was lame, hunchback, monocular blindness, rheumatism, paralysis, pleurisy, and other diseases. Because even numbers refer to the left side of the body and singular numbers refer to the right side. ""Yes, yes," said Abes Demont, "I was in a great tour of Saintes, in the presence of the Lord of Douai, the good, decaux, learned, and impartial abbot Brian Valle. Lei ② had seen it with his own eyes.Every time a lame man or lame woman, blind man or woman blind in one eye, hunchback or hunchback woman walked by, someone told him the name of that person.If the syllable of the name is singular, he can tell at once without seeing the person that the blind, lame, or hunchback is on the right.If it is an even number, it is on the left.

Tried and tested, never said wrong. " Panguguai said: "It is in this way that scholars prove that when Achilles was kneeling and was shot by Paris's arrow, he injured his right heel; because the syllable of Achilles' name is singular ③ always kneeling on the right foot). Venus was injured in the Trojan War by Diomedes on her left hand, because her Greek name has four syllables ④. Wu Gang’s left foot is lame, which is also the reason. Conversely , King Philip of Macedon and Hannibal were blind in the right eye. Using the method of Verdagoras to infer, it can also be calculated which side is the sciatica, bowel disease, and migraine.

"Returning to names, notice how Alexander the Great, son of King Philip we mentioned above, accomplished his great deeds from a single name. He was besieging the fortified city of Tire, and he attacked several times in a row with all his strength. For a week it was ineffective, all weapons were useless, all were damaged and destroyed by the Tyrians. Alexander was very upset at the thought of having to leave the siege, for he realized that such a departure would amount to a loss of prestige. He Melancholy and troubled, he fell asleep. In his sleep, he dreamed that a satyr came to his tent and jumped up and down on its leg of lamb. Alexander tried to catch it but could not. At last Alexander He drove him into a corner, and caught him. When he awoke, he related his dream to the home philosophers and scholars, and they explained that the gods were about to give him victory, and Tire would soon fall, Because if the name Satir is divided into two, it will be 'Sa' and 'Teer', which means 'Teel is yours'. Sure enough, he captured the city in his first attack and won a big victory. Complete victory and suppress all rebellious enemies.

"Conversely, see how Pompey went down the desperate path for a name. After being defeated by Caesar at Pharsalus, he had no other way out but to flee. He fled by sea to The island of Cyprus. On the coast near the city of Baavos, he saw a magnificent palace, so he asked the boatman what the name of the palace was, and the boatman said it was Καχοβσλ■α③, which means 'evil king'. Pompeii heard Hearing this, he could not help being terrified, disgusted, and discouraged. He concluded that he could not escape any more, and that he would soon die. The other guests and sailors on board heard his cries, sighs, and groans. Sure enough, soon came a An unknown peasant-looking man named Achilles beheaded him.

"We may mention Paulus Aemilius, too, when the Roman Senate elected him Emperor, that is to say, Commander-in-Chief of the Macedonian King Berseus. That night he When he got home and prepared to leave, when he kissed his youngest daughter Tracia, he found her looking melancholy. He is quite fond of it. ③ Achilles has three syllables, and "Si" does not form a syllable by itself. ④ Aφρο■■γη (Aphrodite), "Flo" is a syllable. ① Falsalus: The name of the ancient city of Desalia, now named Felsala, where Caesar defeated Pompeii in AD 48. ② Bafos: The name of the ancient city on the island of Cyprus, where there is the Temple of Venus with the name of the mountain.

③ The correct way of writing is Κακοβασ■λ■■■, a Greek word. ④ Paulus Aemilius (227-158 B.C.): Consul of the Roman Empire in 181 B.C., who defeated Belseus in Pedna in 168 B.C. Desperate, he asked, "What's the matter, my little Tracia?"Why so melancholy and sad? ' The little girl replied: 'Father, Bielsa is dead. 'Belsa was the name of a little bitch she loved.As soon as Paulus heard the name, he was sure of his victory over Berseus. "If time allowed us to read the Hebrew Bible, we could give a hundred striking examples of how superstitious and superstitious the meaning of names was among the Hebrews."

As soon as Paiguguet had finished speaking, the two lieutenants arrived with soldiers, all of them wearing armor and armor, and they were brave and resolute.Panagure gave them a short lecture, to be valiant in war, if circumstances forced it (for he could not yet believe that the Sausage Man could be so mean); Three characters as a password. ① Tracia, should be Delcia, nicknamed Tricia. ② The story can be found in Chapter 46 of the first volume of Cicero's "On Divination", but the author here is based on the works of Cailius Calcaninus. Calcaninus said that it was a small The female dog, other writers say is a male dog.
