Re: orion PHARISEE = Persian



    For what it's worth, I ran across the following passage at Epiphanius
16.1.7.
    "They were called Pharisees because they were separated from the others by
the additional religious observances which they had taken on themselves.  For
_Phares_ in Hebrew means 'separation'. "
